Question:
3.4.2 A zero-seeking device operates as follows: If it is in state m at time n, then at time nC1, its position is uniformly distributed over the states 0;1; : : : ;m????1.
Find the expected time until the device first hits zero starting from state m.
Note: This is a highly simplified model for an algorithm that seeks a maximum over a finite set of points.
