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 Walks in Attractive Potentials: The Case of Critical Drifts

Dmitry Ioffe, Yvan Velenik (2010)

Actes des rencontres du CIRM

We consider random walks in attractive potentials - sub-additive functions of their local times. An application of a drift to such random walks leads to a phase transition: If the drift is small than the walk is still sub-ballistic, whereas the walk is ballistic if the drift is strong enough. The set of sub-critical drifts is convex with non-empty interior and can be described in terms of Lyapunov exponents (Sznitman, Zerner ). Recently it was shown that super-critical drifts lead to a limiting...

Rate of convergence for a class of RCA estimators

Pavel Vaněček (2006)

Kybernetika

This work deals with Random Coefficient Autoregressive models where the error process is a martingale difference sequence. A class of estimators of unknown parameter is employed. This class was originally proposed by Schick and it covers both least squares estimator and maximum likelihood estimator for instance. Asymptotic behavior of such estimators is explored, especially the rate of convergence to normal distribution is established.

Regularity of the effective diffusivity of random diffusion with respect to anisotropy coefficient

M. Cudna, T. Komorowski (2008)

Studia Mathematica

We show that the effective diffusivity of a random diffusion with a drift is a continuous function of the drift coefficient. In fact, in the case of a homogeneous and isotropic random environment the function is C smooth outside the origin. We provide a one-dimensional example which shows that the diffusivity coefficient need not be differentiable at 0.
