Random spatial growth with paralyzing obstacles

J. van den Berg, Y. Peres, V. Sidoravicius, M. E. Vares (2008)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

We study models of spatial growth processes where initially there are sources of growth (indicated by the colour green) and sources of a growth-stopping (paralyzing) substance (indicated by red). The green sources expand and may merge with others (there is no ‘inter-green’ competition). The red substance remains passive as long as it is isolated. However, when a green cluster comes in touch with the red substance, it is immediately invaded by the latter, stops growing and starts to act as a red...

Random split of the interval [0,1]

B. Kopociński (2004)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We define two splitting procedures of the interval [0,1], one using uniformly distributed points on the chosen piece and the other splitting a piece in half. We also define two procedures for choosing the piece to be split; one chooses a piece with a probability proportional to its length and the other chooses each piece with equal probability. We analyse the probability distribution of the lengths of the pieces arising from these procedures.

Random Variables and Product of Probability Spaces

Hiroyuki Okazaki, Yasunari Shidama (2013)

Formalized Mathematics

We have been working on the formalization of the probability and the randomness. In [15] and [16], we formalized some theorems concerning the real-valued random variables and the product of two probability spaces. In this article, we present the generalized formalization of [15] and [16]. First, we formalize the random variables of arbitrary set and prove the equivalence between random variable on Σ, Borel sets and a real-valued random variable on Σ. Next, we formalize the product of countably infinite...

Random walk centrality and a partition of Kemeny's constant

Stephen J. Kirkland (2016)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We consider an accessibility index for the states of a discrete-time, ergodic, homogeneous Markov chain on a finite state space; this index is naturally associated with the random walk centrality introduced by Noh and Reiger (2004) for a random walk on a connected graph. We observe that the vector of accessibility indices provides a partition of Kemeny's constant for the Markov chain. We provide three characterizations of this accessibility index: one in terms of the first return time to the state...

Random walk in random environment with asymptotically zero perturbation

M.V. Menshikov, Andrew R. Wade (2006)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We give criteria for ergodicity, transience and null-recurrence for the random walk in random environment on ℤ + = { 0 , 1 , 2 , ⋯ } , with reflection at the origin, where the random environment is subject to a vanishing perturbation. Our results complement existing criteria for random walks in random environments and for Markov chains with asymptotically zero drift, and are significantly different from the previously studied cases. Our method is based on a martingale technique—the method of Lyapunov functions.
