where we reduce a problem of size $n$ into $a$ problems of size $n/b$ and $a$ and $b$ are integers (1,2,3....). We will show how to solve such recurrences when $g$ is ...

Let T denote a subset of the possible transitions between the states of a finite Markov chain and let Yk denote the time of the kth occurrence of a T-transition. Formulae are derived for the ...
