Kurtz's law of large numbers for SIR: the probability bound (CRN-2, helpers) #
If the tube width θ exceeds the deterministic bound of close_of_good for a martingale level
δ, a deviation larger than θ forces one of the three coordinate martingales ±mgIncr β γ j to
reach δ (fail_indicator_le), and the maximal Azuma–Hoeffding inequality bounds each of the six
events: deviationProb ≤ 6 exp(-δ² / (2 n (2/N)²)) (deviationProb_le_azuma).
The indicator that the coordinate-j martingale (or its negative, neg = true) reaches δ
within n rounds.

Instances For
Failure forces a martingale deviation. Along rounds l of length n ≤ T (β + γ) N, if
the tube width θ is at least the bound of close_of_good at level δ, a deviation larger
than θ makes one of the six martingale events happen.
The six Azuma bounds. Under the hypotheses of fail_indicator_le with 0 < δ and
0 < n, the probability of a deviation larger than θ within n steps is at most
6 exp(-δ² / (2 n (2/N)²)).
