19. In 14 there are functions of the form (Formula presented), where (Formula presented) etc. are arbitrary constants. For the present model, the average converges exponentially (Formula presented), where (Formula presented), and (Formula presented). Note that the constant (Formula presented) does not affect the rate of convergence.
