... Since PTS = 90o, QTP = TSR, and hence ∆QTP ~ ∆RST. If we let QT = x, then TR = 10 – x, and so x/8 = 3/(10 – x) leading to x2 – 10x + 24 = 0, so (x – 6)(x – 4) = 0 and hence x = 4 or 6. The area of ∆PTS = ½ (8 + 3) × 10 – 4x – ½ × 3 (10 – x) = 55 – 4x – ½ × 3 (10 – x) If x = 4, [PTS] = 55 – 16 – 9 = ...

... By Fatou’s lemma, E(W ) ≤ lim inf n→∞ E(Wn ) = 1. It is, however, possible that W = 0. So it is important to know when W is non-degenerate. We make the trivial remark that W = 0 if the system dies out. In particular, by Theorem 1.1, we have W = 0 a.s. if m ≤ 1. What happens if m > 1? We start with t ...
