The Collector’s Brotherhood Problem Using the Newman-Shepp Symbolic Method

چکیده
Further computations are made on the traditional coupon collector’s problem when the collector shares his harvest with his younger brothers. When the book of the p-th brother of the collector is completed, the books of the younger brothers have certain numbers of empty spots. On the average, how many? Several answers can be brought to that question.

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...

متن کاملA Collector’s Problem with Renewal Arrival Processes
We study a collector’s problem withK renewal arrival processes for different type items, where the objective is to collect complete sets. In particular, we derive the asymptotic distribution of the sequence of interarrival times between set completions.
متن کاملCoupon Collecting with Quotas
We analyze a variant of the coupon collector’s problem, in which the probabilities of obtaining coupons and the numbers of coupons in a collection may be non-uniform. We obtain a finite expression for the generating function of the probabilities to complete a collection and show how this generalizes several previous results about the coupon collector’s problem. Also, we provide applications abo...
