Hello

I'm unsure how to start with this problem; I tried something similar to what was done in class, but didn't end up getting anywhere.

"In an example concerning Cantor-Junkes model of DNA, we showed thatpi,i(n)=41+43(14a)nandpj,i(n)=4141(14a)n, wherepi,i(n)andpj,i(n)denote the transition probability from i to i and i to j for i not equal to j respectively, hold for case n = 1, and if they hold for the case n, then the first equation holds for the case n+ 1. Show that the second equation also holds for the case n + 1." - apparently this can be done with some careful observations; however, while trying this problem, the only thing we thought we could do was just take the sum of all of the different products of transition probabilities that will successfully arrive atpj,in+1, but, even doing this, we couldn't get to the answer as our sum did not simplify. please help!!

Thank you for your time and consideration.

All the best
