Notes

  1. 1.

    In fact, the graph in Fig. 23.6 resembles the Cantor function, also called the devil’s staircase. The Cantor function is a standard example of a function that is differentiable with derivative zero everywhere except on a set with measure zero, but not constant. We won’t pursue this connection here, though.

  2. 2.

    Matlab command for generating a column vector of 100 independent, uniformly distributed random numbers between 0.14 and 0.19: g=0.14+rand(100,1)*0.05;

  3. 3.

    One should be a bit skeptical of this conclusion. It is based on one very simple model only.
