Could anyone just tell me what does he, mean by at the point $2$, selecting a number according to the probabilities, $p(x_0)$? does he meant to chhose the largest one out of $p_i(x_0), i=1,2,dots,N$?, let me write, $p_i$ are probability functions $X$, and $sum_i=1^N p_i(x)=1forall xin X, sigma_n=1,2,3,dots, N $, $omega_sigma_n$
are mappings on $X$.
I am also not comfortable with the notation $sigma_n$.
Thanks for helping. A little example would be fine too.

I would take it to mean randomly choose a number from $1$ to $N,$ where the probability of choosing $k$ is $p_k(x_0).$ He must mean to say choose $sigma_1in1,dots,N$ since it doesn't make sense to apply an integer to $x_0.$

OKay Thanks, I was thinking that too. What do you think about the notation $sigma_n$? Can it be better?

Okay, $sigma_i$ then. The subscript is a variable, it doesn't matter what you call it. Still, what don't you like about $sigma_i?$
