We consider a multivariate distributional recursion of sum type, as arises in the probabilistic analysis of algorithms and random trees. We prove an upper tail bound for the solution using Chernoff's ...

Stochastic trees are semi-Markov processes represented using tree diagrams. Such trees have been found useful for prescriptive modeling of temporal medical treatment choice. We consider utility ...

In this talk we consider interacting particle systems, their description via graphical respresentations (stochastic flows) and their dual processes. We then focus on systems where the underlying ...
