17. The result for survival probability obtained (Ref.) is a consequence of the theorem proposed by Brandobler and Elser (Ref.) as a hypothesis and proved rigorously by Dobrescu and Sinitsyn (Ref.). Wubs, have found the same method independently, but a little later. Important steps toward the proof of the Brandobler-Elser hypothesis were made by A. V. Shytov, Phys. Rev.
