Random cutting and records in deterministic and random trees

TL;DR: The number of cuts is equal (in distribution) to the number of records in the tree when edges (or vertices) are assigned random labels when edges are assignedrandom labels.

Kac's formula, levy's local time and brownian excursion

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.

Scaling limits of random trees and planar maps

TL;DR: In this paper, the scaling limits of random trees and planar maps are discussed in a series of lectures given at the Clay Mathematical Institute Summer School in Buzios, Greece.

Infinitely Divisible Laws Associated with Hyperbolic Functions

TL;DR: The infinitely divisible distributions of random variables with Laplace transforms are characterized for various in a number of different ways: by simple relations between their moments and cumulants, by corresponding relations between the distributions and their Levy measures, by recursions for their Mellin transforms, and by differential equations satisfied by their Laplace transform.

Diffusion Processes and their Sample Paths

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the problem of approximating the Brownian motion by a random walk with respect to the de Moivre-laplace limit theorem and show that it is NP-hard.

Brownian motion and diffusion

TL;DR: The book as discussed by the authors is part of a trilogy covering the field of Markov processes and provides a readable and constructive treatment of Brownian motion and diffusion, which dispenses with most of the customary transform apparatus.

Functional Central Limit Theorems for Random Walks Conditioned to Stay Positive

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the conditional and unconditional weak limit for a sequence of independent, identically distributed random variables is the same as that of the standard Brownian motion.
