Moments of Pólya urns balanced in expectation

Colin Desmarais

In this work, recent results on the moments of balanced Pólya urns are generalized to unbalanced urns, with the condition that the expected change in total activity at each step is…

-Branching Random Walk with Noisy Selection: Large Population Limits and Phase Transitions

Colin Desmarais, Emmanuel Schertzer, Zsófia Talyigás

We analyze a variant of the Noisy -Branching Random Walk, a population model that evolves according to the following procedure. At each time step, each individual produces a lar…

Depths in random recursive metric spaces

Colin Desmarais

As a generalization of random recursive trees and preferential attachment trees, we consider random recursive metric spaces. These spaces are constructed from random blocks, each a…

Broadcasting induced colourings of random recursive trees and preferential attachment trees

Colin Desmarais, Cecilia Holmgren, Stephan Wagner

In this work we consider random two-colourings of random linear preferential attachment trees, which includes random recursive trees, random plane-oriented recursive trees, random…

Distributed training and scalability for the particle clustering method UCluster

Olga Sunneborn Gudnadottir, Daniel Gedon, Colin Desmarais +3

In recent years, machine-learning methods have become increasingly important for the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). They are utilised in everything from trigger sy…

Normal limit laws for vertex degrees in randomly grown hooking networks and bipolar networks

Colin Desmarais, Cecilia Holmgren

We consider two types of random networks grown in blocks. Hooking networks are grown from a set of graphs as blocks, each with a labelled vertex called a hook. At each step in the…

Testing bi-orderability of knot groups

Adam Clay, Colin Desmarais, Patrick Naylor

We investigate the bi-orderability of two-bridge knot groups and the groups of knots with 12 or fewer crossings by applying recent theorems of Chiswell, Glass and Wilson. Amongst a…
