We assume an infinite deck of cards, with equal distributions of each
of the m face values. Suppose we know the
dealer's and the
player's sequences of special cards,
and
repectively. Define
to be the distance between the dealer's secret card
and the
player's next closest secret card into the deck. Clearly
,
and we define the states of our Markov process to be these m
distances. The absorbing state is the distance 0 (For a good treatment
of Markov Processes, see [1]).
