چکیده

In the context of uniform random mappings of an n-element set to itself, Aldous and Pitman (1994) established a functional invariance principle, showing that many n ! 1 limit distributions can be described as distributions of suitable functions of re ecting Brownian bridge. To study non-uniform cases, in this paper we formulate a sampling invariance principle in terms of iterates of a xed number of random elements. We show that the sampling invariance principle implies many, but not all, of the distributional limits implied by the functional invariance principle. We give direct veri cations of the sampling invariance principle in two successive generalizations of the uniform case, to p-mappings (where elements are mapped to i.i.d. non-uniform elements) and P -mappings (where elements are mapped according to a Markov matrix). We compare with parallel results in the simpler setting of random trees. Research supported in part by N.S.F. Grants DMS-9970901 and DMS-0071448

Brownian Bridge Asymptotics for Random Mappings

The Joyal bijection between doubly-rooted trees and mappings can be lifted to a transformation on function space which takes tree-walks to mapping-walks. Applying known results on weak convergence of random tree walks to Brownian excursion, we give a conceptually simpler rederivation of the 1994 Aldous-Pitman result on convergence of uniform random mapping walks to reeecting Brownian bridge, an...

un 2 00 3 Large deviations of Markov chains indexed by random trees

Given a finite typed rooted tree T with n vertices, the empirical subtree measure is the uniform measure on the n typed subtrees of T formed by taking all descendants of a single vertex. We prove a large deviation principle in n, with explicit rate function, for the empirical subtree measures of multitype Galton-Watson trees conditioned to have exactly n vertices. In the process, we extend the ...

Ballistic Random Walk in a Random Environment with a Forbidden Direction

We consider a ballistic random walk in an i.i.d. random environment that does not allow retreating in a certain fixed direction. Homogenization and regeneration techniques combine to prove a law of large numbers and an averaged invariance principle. The assumptions are non-nestling and 1 + ε (resp. 2 + ε) moments for the step of the walk uniformly in the environment, for the law of large number...

Invariance principles for spatial multitype Galton-Watson trees

We prove that critical multitype Galton-Watson trees converge after rescaling to the Brownian continuum random tree, under the hypothesis that the offspring distribution has finite covariance matrices. Our study relies on an ancestral decomposition for marked multitype trees. We then couple the genealogical structure with a spatial motion, whose step distribution may depend on the structure of ...
