§12.8 Exercises
12-1 For each 0277-001.gif, let 0277-002.gif. Intuitively, cyl(f) denotes the cylindrification of f.
(a) Show that 0277-003.gif.
(b) Show that 0277-004.gif.
12-2 Show 0277-005.gif.
12-3 Recall the convention that: 0 < 1 < 2 < . . . < *. Also recall that, for each 0277-006.gif, Exa can be written as 0277-007.gif, that is, there is no bound on the number of mind changes. Suppose 0277-008.gif. Show that 0277-009.gif.
12-4 (Sharma [173]) Adapt the notion of mind changes to the paradigm InfTxtEx (Definition 8.31) to define the paradigm InfTxtExn. Show that 0277-010.gif. This somewhat surprising result says that the collections of languages that can be one shot learned from both positive and negative data can also be identified in the limit from only positive data. Additionally, show that 0277-011.gif.
12-5 Show that the function Conv defined in Equation (12.1) on page 265 satisfies the axioms given in Definition 12.10.
12-6 The following definition (due to Daley and Smith [54]) is intended to capture the total amount of work done by a scientist on a function before the onset of convergence.
12.26 Definition Let  F M(f[n]) denote the time (or any other suitable Blum complexity measure [19]) used by M on the evidential state f[n]. For each M and f, define
0277-012.gif
The above is based on the integral 0277-013.gif F(x) dx defining work in classical mechanics; auc stands for 'area under the curve.' Note that, as was the case with identification from a bounded number of examples, the above notion also assumes that the graph of the
