Abstract
In this paper, the problem of computing the exact value of the asymptotic efficiency of maximum likelihood estimators of a discontinuous signal in a Gaussian white noise is considered. A method based on constructing difference equations for the appropriate moments is presented and used to show that the exact variance of the Pitman estimator is $16\zeta(3)$, where $\zeta$ is the Riemann zeta function.
