Minimal Clade Size in the Bolthausen-Sznitman Coalescent
This article shows the asymptotics of distribution and moments of the size Xn of the minimal clade of a randomly chosen individual in a Bolthausen-Sznitman n-coalescent for n → ∞. The Bolthausen-Sznitman n-coalescent is a Markov process taking states in the set of partitions of n are referred to as individuals. The minimal clade of an individual is the equivalence class the individual is in at ...
متن کاملOn the length of an external branch in the Beta-coalescent
In this paper, we consider Beta(2 − α, α) (with 1 < α < 2) and related Λcoalescents. If T (n) denotes the length of an external branch of the n-coalescent, we prove the convergence of nT (n) when n tends to ∞, and give the limit. To this aim, we give asymptotics for the number σ of collisions which occur in the n-coalescent until the end of the chosen external branch, and for the block counting...
متن کاملAsymptotic Results about the To- Tal Branch Length of the Bolthau- Sen-sznitman Coalescent
Abstract We study the total branch length Ln of the Bolthausen-Sznitman coalescent as the sample size n tends to infinity. Asymptotic expansions for the moments of Ln are presented. It is shown that Ln/E(Ln) converges to 1 in probability and that Ln, properly normalized, converges weakly to a stable random variable as n tends to infinity. The results are applied to derive a corresponding limiti...
متن کاملThe external lengths in Kingman’s coalescent
In this paper we prove asymptotic normality of the total length of external branches in Kingman’s coalescent. The proof uses an embedded Markov chain, which can be described as follows: Take an urn with n black balls. Empty it in n steps according to the rule: In each step remove a randomly chosen pair of balls and replace it by one red ball. Finally remove the last remaining ball. Then the num...
متن کاملDependence between External Path-Length and Size in Random Tries
We study the size and the external path length of random tries and show that they are asymptotically independent in the asymmetric case but strongly dependent with small periodic fluctuations in the symmetric case. Such an unexpected behavior is in sharp contrast to the previously known results that the internal path length is totally positively correlated to the size and that both tend to the ...
