Benefits of Cooperation in Multiplayer Coupon Collectors' Games
The paper introduces a modified version of the classical Coupon Collector’s Problem entailing exchanges and cooperation between multiple players. Results of the development show that, within a proper Markov framework, the complexity of the Cooperative Multiplayer Coupon Collectors’ Problem can be attacked with an eye to the modeling of social strategies and community behaviors. The cost of coop...

The paper introduces a modified version of the classical Coupon Collector’s Problem entailing exchanges and cooperation between multiple players. Results of the development show that, within a proper Markov framework, the complexity of the Cooperative Multiplayer Coupon Collectors’ Problem can be attacked with an eye to the modeling of resource harvesting and sharing within the context of Next ...
متن کاملBirthday Paradox, Coupon Collectors, Caching Algorithms and Self-Organizing Search
This paper introduces a unified framework for the analysis of a class of random allocation processes thdt include: (i) the birthday paradox; (ii) the coupon collector problem* (iii) least-tecently-used (LRU) caching in memory management systems under the independent reference model; (iv) the move-to-front heuristic of self-organizing search. All analyses are relative to general nonuniform f rob...
متن کاملCoupon Collectors, q-Binomial Coefficients and the Unsatisfiability Threshold
The problem of determining the unsatisfiability threshold for random 3-SAT formulas consists in determining the clause to variable ratio that marks the (experimentally observed) abrupt change from almost surely satisfiable formulas to almost surely unsatisfiable. Up to now, there have been rigorously established increasingly better lower and upper bounds to the actual threshold value. An upper ...
متن کاملThe Coupon Collector’s Problem
In this note we will consider the following problem: how many coupons we have to purchase (on average) to complete a collection. This problem, which takes everybody back to his childhood when this was really “a problem”, has been considered by the probabilists since the eighteenth century and nowadays it is still possible to derive some new results, probably original or at least never published...
