This seems like a needlesly defensive answer. If there are no examples then just say so. It is mathematics after all, some of it is beautiful to explore just for its own sake, no examples or applications neccesary. But…
Two things: 1. The result is asymptotical, i.e. holds as number of samples approach infinity. 2. The result is an "almost surely" result, i.e. in the collection of all possible infinite samples, the set of samples for…
There is no mistake in the definition and this is all elaborated upon in page 4 of the article. Quote: " On the other hand, it is not very hard to prove that the minimum possible value of ξn(X, Y ) is −1/2 + O(1/n), and…
