19. (Formula presented) is defined by (Formula presented), where (Formula presented) is the area of a (hyper)disk of radius (Formula presented). Using standard algebra, one gets (Formula presented) with (Formula presented).

22. Note that the jump lengths are uniformly distributed between 0 and (Formula presented). It is a well known result of the percolation theory that the precise form of the length distribution (as soon as it is bounded) is irrelevant for the determination of the critical exponents.
