What does "have a cluster point at 0" mean here? E.g., it might mean that the underlying density is infinite, or has a local max, at 0. --Dan << ITEM 32 (Schroeppel) Take a random real number and raise it to large powers; we expect the fraction part to be uniformly distributed. . . . . . . Now, 3 + sqrt2 is suspicious; it looks non-uniform, and seems to have a cluster point at zero. PROBLEM: Is it non-uniform?
