The result is discouraging due to a large mass of the kaon. The author would like to thank H. Nanjo and N. Sasao who raised a question on an identical particle effect of Majorana fermions.

This paper discusses the effect of Majorana neutrino combined with V+A current in the muon decay. Without V+A current the effect of Majorana neutrino is very small. The author should like to thank I. Nakano for bringing this work to his attention. 10.1143/PTP.114.845
