摘要:
We analyze some properties of the distribution Q(G,k) of the first component in a k-tuple chosen uniformly in the set of all the k-tuples generating a finite group G (the limiting distribution of the product replacement algorithm). In particular, we concentrate our attention on the study of the variation distance beta(k)(G) between Q(G,k) and the uniform distribution. We review some known results, analyze several examples and propose some intriguing open questions.
