Exchangeable Fragmentation-Coalescence processes and their equilibrium measures
نویسنده
چکیده
We define and study a family of Markov processes with state space the compact set of all partitions of N that we call exchangeable fragmentation-coalescence processes. They can be viewed as a combination of exchangeable fragmentation as defined by Bertoin and of homogenous coalescence as defined by Pitman and Schweinsberg or Möhle and Sagitov. We show that they admit a unique invariant probability measure and we study some properties of their paths and of their equilibrium measure.

Two-Parameter Poisson-Dirichlet Measures and Reversible Exchangeable Fragmentation-Coalescence Processes
We show that for 0 < α < 1 and θ > −α, the Poisson-Dirichlet distribution with parameter (α, θ) is the unique reversible distribution of a rather natural fragmentation-coalescence process. This completes earlier results in the literature for certain split and merge transformations and the parameter α = 0.

متن کاملMore Uses of Exchangeability: Representations of Complex Random Structures
We review old and new uses of exchangeability, emphasizing the general theme of exchangeable representations of complex random structures. Illustrations of this theme include processes of stochastic coalescence and fragmentation; continuum random trees; second-order limits of distances in random graphs; isometry classes of metric spaces with probability measures; limits of dense random graphs; ...
متن کاملA Numerical Simulation Study on the Kinetics of Asphaltene Particle Flocculation in a Two-dimensional Shear Flow
In the current study, the kinetics of asphaltene particle flocculation is investigated under a shear flow through numerical simulation. The discrete element method (DEM) is coupled with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to model the agglomeration and fragmentation processes. In addition, a coalescence model is proposed to consider the attachment of colliding particles. The changes in mean asph...
متن کاملInfinitely Exchangeable Partition and Tree-valued Stochastic Processes
We discuss some aspects of infinitely exchangeable partition-valued stochastic processes. In particular, we introduce the the cut-and-paste process on the state space of partitions of the natural numbers whose sample paths differ from previously studied exchangeable coalescent (Kingman, 1982) and fragmentation (Bertoin, 2001) processes. Though it evolves differently, the cut-and-paste process p...
متن کاملTrend to equilibrium for discrete coagulation equations with strong fragmentation and without balance condition
The coagulation-fragmentation equation describes the concentration fi(t) of particles of size i ∈ N/{0} at time t ≥ 0, in a spatially homogeneous infinite system of particles subjected to coalescence and break-up. We show that when the rate of fragmentation is sufficiently stronger than that of coalescence, (fi(t))i∈N/{0} tends to an unique equilibrium as t tends to infinity. Although we suppos...
