Abstract

Assume that [Formula: see text] mobile sensors are thrown uniformly and independently at random with the uniform distribution on the unit interval. We study the expected sum over all sensors [Formula: see text] from [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text] where the contribution of the [Formula: see text] sensor is its displacement from the current location to the anchor equidistant point [Formula: see text] raised to the [Formula: see text] power, when [Formula: see text] is an odd natural number. As a consequence, we derive the following asymptotic identity. Fix [Formula: see text] positive integer. Let [Formula: see text] denote the [Formula: see text] order statistic from a random sample of size [Formula: see text] from the Uniform[Formula: see text] population. Then [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is the Gamma function.
