Large Deviations for Random Distribution of Mass

  • Conference paper
Random Discrete Structures

Part of the book series: The IMA Volumes in Mathematics and its Applications ((IMA,volume 76))

Summary

We study the large deviations for the model of random mass distribution proposed by Aldous. Based on a suitable approximation argument, we prove Aldous’ conjecture concerning the large deviations behavior.
