Journal ArticleDOI
Boltzmann Samplers for the Random Generation of Combinatorial Structures
TL;DR: A surprisingly simple framework for the random generation of combinatorial configurations based on what the authors call Boltzmann models is proposed, which can be implemented easily, be analysed mathematically with great precision, and, when suitably tuned, tend to be very efficient in practice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kac's formula, levy's local time and brownian excursion
J. Appl,Guy Louchard +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, Kac's formula for Brownian functionals and Levy's local time decomposition are shown to be useful tools in analysing Brownian excursion properties, such as maximum, local time and area distributions.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the average redundancy rate of the Lempel-Ziv code
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that for a memoryless source, the average redundancy rate attains asymptotically Er/sub n/=(A+/spl delta/(n))/log n+ O(log log n/log/sup 2/n), where A is an explicitly given constant that depends on source characteristics, and /spl delta is a fluctuating function with a small amplitude.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analytic Variations on the Airy Distribution
Philippe Flajolet,Guy Louchard +1 more
TL;DR: This work obtains curious explicit evaluations for certain moments of the Airy distribution, including moments of orders -1, -3, -5 , etc., as well as +\frac13, -\frac53, - \frac 11 3 , etc.
Journal ArticleDOI
The brownian excursion area: a numerical analysis
TL;DR: Using an explicit expression for the Laplace transform of the Brownian excursion area generating function, a numerical analysis gives moments, density, and distribution function for small argument.
