Lattice paths, sampling without replacement, and limiting distributions.
Let be an integer. The so-called-ary search treeis a discrete time Markov chain which is very popular in theoretical computer science, modelling famous algorithms used in searching and sorting. This random process satisfies a well-known phase transition: when , the asymptotic behavior of the process is Gaussian, but for it is no longer Gaussian and a limit of a complex-valued martingale arises. In this paper, we consider the multitype branching process which is the continuous time version...
We find limit shapes for a family of multiplicative measures on the set of partitions, induced by exponential generating functions with expansive parameters, ak∼Ckp−1, k→∞, p>0, where C is a positive constant. The measures considered are associated with the generalized Maxwell–Boltzmann models in statistical mechanics, reversible coagulation–fragmentation processes and combinatorial structures, known as assemblies. We prove a central limit theorem for fluctuations of a properly scaled partition...
