Some New Aspects of the Coupon Collector's Problem
We extend the classical coupon collector’s problem to one in which two collectors are simultaneously and independently seeking collections of d coupons. We find, in finite terms, the probability that the two collectors finish at the same trial, and we find, using the methods of Gessel-Viennot, the probability that the game has the following “ballotlike” character: the two collectors are tied wi...

این رساله به مساله احتجاب الهی و مشکلات برهان مبتنی بر این مساله میپردازد. مساله احتجاب الهی مساله ای به قدمت ادیان است که به طور خاصی در مورد ادیان ابراهیمی اهمیت پیدا میکند. در ادیان ابراهیمی با توجه به تعالی خداوند و در عین حال خالقیت و حضور او و سخن گفتن و ارتباط شهودی او با بعضی از انسانهای ساکن زمین مساله ای پدید میاید با پرسشهایی از قبیل اینکه چرا ارتباط مستقیم ویا حداقل ارتباط وافی به ب...
15 صفحه اولSome upper and lower bounds on the coupon collector problem
The classical coupon collector problem is closely related to probabilistic-packet-marking (PPM) schemes for IP traceback problem in the Internet. In this paper, we study the classical coupon collector problem, and derive some upper and lower bounds of the complementary cumulative distribution function (ccdf) of the number of objects (coupons) that one has to check in order to detect a set of di...
متن کاملBenefits 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...
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 ...
