Random walk on a building of type Ãr and brownian motion of the Weyl chamber

Bruno Schapira (2009)

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

In this paper we study a random walk on an affine building of type Ãr, whose radial part, when suitably normalized, converges toward the brownian motion of the Weyl chamber. This gives a new discrete approximation of this process, alternative to the one of Biane (Probab. Theory Related Fields89 (1991) 117–129). This extends also the link at the probabilistic level between riemannian symmetric spaces of the noncompact type and their discrete counterpart, which had been previously discovered by Bougerol...

Ranked fragmentations

Julien Berestycki (2002)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

In this paper we define and study self-similar ranked fragmentations. We first show that any ranked fragmentation is the image of some partition-valued fragmentation, and that there is in fact a one-to-one correspondence between the laws of these two types of fragmentations. We then give an explicit construction of homogeneous ranked fragmentations in terms of Poisson point processes. Finally we use this construction and classical results on records of Poisson point processes to study the small-time...

Recorridos aleatorios simples en tiempo continuo.

Ricardo Vélez Ibarrola (1983)

Trabajos de Estadística e Investigación Operativa

The properties of a certain generalization of simple random walk to continuous time are analyzed in this paper. After the definition, its transition probabilities, and the differential equations satisfied by those, are obtained. Under some conditions, the convergence of this random walk to a Wiener process is then established. Finally, absorption probabilities and mean times until absorption are calculated, giving some insight into the behaviour of the process.
