The problem of getting the expectation has been dealt with in the
thread entitled "solving a probability (expectation) problem", with
last entry on April 8. The results are not pretty, and not easy to
compute. Whether there are more tractable formulas for the expectation
remains to be seen.
Thanks. It is the same problem, in fact. However, it seems that
there are other approaches. As soon as I get something more
tractable (if it works) I will report.
