Conditioning random points by the number of vertices of their convex hull: the bi-pointed case
Jean-François Marckert, Ludovic Morin
Pick random points independently and uniformly in a triangle ABC with area 1, and take the convex hull of the set . The boundary of…
A combinatorial perspective on the Kemeny constant and more
Luis Fredes, Jean-François Marckert
Let be an irreducible transition matrix on a finite state space . For a Markov chain with transition matrix , let denote the first posit…
Dispersion models on a circle: universal properties and asymptotic results
Jean-François Marckert, Zoé Varin
Consider a sequence of masses arriving uniformly at random at some points on the unit circle (or on , in…
The Sylvester question in : convex sets with a flat floor
Jean-François Marckert, Ludovic Morin
Pick independent and uniform random points in a compact convex set of with volume 1, and let be the probability that these po…
Markov chains on trees: almost lower and upper directed cases
Luis Fredes, Jean-François Marckert
The transition matrix of a Markov chain on a finite or infinite rooted tree is said to be almost upper-directed if, given , the node is either a desc…
