A determinant formula from random walks

Hery Randriamaro (2023)

Archivum Mathematicum

One usually studies the random walk model of a cat moving from one room to another in an apartment. Imagine now that the cat also has the possibility to go from one apartment to another by crossing some corridors, or even from one building to another. That yields a new probabilistic model for which each corridor connects the entrance rooms of several apartments. This article computes the determinant of the stochastic matrix associated to such random walks. That new model naturally allows to compute...

A game-theoretical model of competition for staff between two departments

A. Y. Garnaev (2006)

Banach Center Publications

The main purpose of this paper is to analyze a development of a scenario suggested by Baston and Garnaev (2005) for modelling the situation where two departments in a large organization are each seeking to make an appointment within the same area of expertise, for instance, a computer science specialist. The departments are interested in three skills of the candidate (say, writing code, communication and in algorithms). In our scenario Department 1 wants to employ a candidate with excellent skills...

A nonasymptotic theorem for unnormalized Feynman–Kac particle models

F. Cérou, P. Del Moral, A. Guyader (2011)

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

We present a nonasymptotic theorem for interacting particle approximations of unnormalized Feynman–Kac models. We provide an original stochastic analysis-based on Feynman–Kac semigroup techniques combined with recently developed coalescent tree-based functional representations of particle block distributions. We present some regularity conditions under which the -relative error of these weighted particle measures grows linearly with respect to the time horizon yielding what seems to be the first...

A remark on Vapnik-Chervonienkis classes

Agata Smoktunowicz (1997)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We show that the family of all lines in the plane which is a VC class of index 2 cannot be obtained in a finite number of steps starting with VC classes of index 1 and applying the operations of intersection and union. This confirms a common belief among specialists and solves a question asked by several authors.

A stationary random graph of no growth rate

Ádám Timár (2014)

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

We present a random automorphism-invariant subgraph of a Cayley graph such that with probability 1 its exponential growth rate does not exist.
