Compact convex sets of the plane and probability theory

Jean-François Marckert, David Renault (2014)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

The Gauss−Minkowski correspondence in ℝ2 states the existence of a homeomorphism between the probability measures μ on [0,2π] such that 0 2 π e i x d μ ( x ) = 0 ∫ 0 2 π e ix d μ ( x ) = 0 and the compact convex sets (CCS) of the plane with perimeter 1. In this article, we bring out explicit formulas relating the border of a CCS to its probability measure. As a consequence, we show that some natural operations on CCS – for example, the Minkowski sum – have natural translations in terms of probability measure operations,...

Convergence of simple random walks on random discrete trees to brownian motion on the continuum random tree

David Croydon (2008)

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

In this article it is shown that the brownian motion on the continuum random tree is the scaling limit of the simple random walks on any family of discrete n-vertex ordered graph trees whose search-depth functions converge to the brownian excursion as n→∞. We prove both a quenched version (for typical realisations of the trees) and an annealed version (averaged over all realisations of the trees) of our main result. The assumptions of the article cover the important example of simple random walks...

Convex orderings for stochastic processes

Bruno Bassan, Marco Scarsini (1991)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We consider partial orderings for stochastic processes induced by expectations of convex or increasing convex (concave or increasing concave) functionals. We prove that these orderings are implied by the analogous finite dimensional orderings.
