We might regard the short-term model as imbedded in the long-term one. 47) xn+l = B(yitb)), where y denotes pollution within a time unit and appropriate functions A, B, and g are to be defined. 47) is independent of n. 8 Salmo n Dynamic s 23 then t - t = 1 - f, - c . 47). Just suppose, for example, that our mischievous polluter achieves his goal by doubling the pollutio n level one tenth of a tim e unit after every reading, lettin g it decay at the natural rat e and then halving it again one tenth of a tim e unit before the next reading.
