The Bernoulli sieve revisited
, 2008
"... We consider an occupancy scheme in which ‘balls’ are identified with n points sampled from the standard exponential distribution, while the role of ‘boxes’ is played by the spacings induced by an independent random walk with positive and non-lattice steps. We discuss the asymptotic behaviour of five ..."

We consider an occupancy scheme in which ‘balls’ are identified with n points sampled from the standard exponential distribution, while the role of ‘boxes’ is played by the spacings induced by an independent random walk with positive and non-lattice steps. We discuss the asymptotic behaviour of five quantities: the index K ∗ n of the last occupied box, the number Kn of occupied boxes, the number Kn,0 of empty boxes whose index is at most K ∗ n, the index Wn of the first empty box and the number of balls Zn in the last occupied box. It is shown that the limiting distribution of properly scaled and centered K ∗ n coincides with that of the number of renewals not exceeding log n. A similar result is shown for Kn and Wn under a side condition that prevents occurrence of very small boxes. The condition also ensures that Kn,0 converges in distribution. Limiting results for Zn are established under an assumption of regular variation.
ON THE EXTENDED MORAN MODEL AND ITS RELATION TO COALESCENTS WITH MULTIPLE COLLISIONS
, 2011
"... We study the asymptotics of the extended Moran model as the total population size N tends to infinity. Two convergence results are provided, the first result leading to discrete-time limiting coalescent processes and the second result leading to continuous-time limiting coalescent processes. The lim ..."

We study the asymptotics of the extended Moran model as the total population size N tends to infinity. Two convergence results are provided, the first result leading to discrete-time limiting coalescent processes and the second result leading to continuous-time limiting coalescent processes. The limiting coalescent processes allow for multiple mergers of ancestral lineages (Λ-coalescent). It is furthermore verified that any continuous time Λ-coalescent (with Λ any probability distribution) can arise in the limit. Typical examples of extended Moran models are discussed, with an emphasis on models being in the domain of attraction of beta coalescents or Λ-coalescents with Λ being log infinitely divisible.
On the length of an external branch in the beta-coalescents
, 2012
"... In this paper, we consider Beta(2 − α,α) (with 1 < α < 2) and related Λ-coalescents. If T (n) denotes the length of an external branch of the n-coalescent, we prove the convergence of n α−1 T (n) when n tends to ∞, and give the limit. To this aim, we give asymptotics for the number σ (n) of ..."

In this paper, we consider Beta(2 − α,α) (with 1 < α < 2) and related Λ-coalescents. If T (n) denotes the length of an external branch of the n-coalescent, we prove the convergence of n α−1 T (n) when n tends to ∞, and give the limit. To this aim, we give asymptotics for the number σ (n) of collisions which occur in the n-coalescent until the end of the chosen external branch, and for the block counting process associated with the n-coalescent.

A CONSTRUCTION OF A β-COALESCENT VIA THE PRUNING OF BINARY TREES
"... Abstract. Considering a random binary tree with n labelled leaves, we use a pruning procedure on this tree in order to construct a β ( 3 1,)-coalescent process. We also use the 2 2 continuous analogue of this construction, i.e. a pruning procedure on Aldous’s continuum random tree, to construct a co ..."

Abstract. Considering a random binary tree with n labelled leaves, we use a pruning procedure on this tree in order to construct a β ( 3 1,)-coalescent process. We also use the 2 2 continuous analogue of this construction, i.e. a pruning procedure on Aldous’s continuum random tree, to construct a continuous state space process that has the same structure as the β-coalescent process up to some time change. These two constructions enable us to obtain results on the coalescent process such as the asymptotics on the number of coalescent events or the law of the blocks involved in the last coalescent event. hal-00711518, version 2- 9 Nov 2012 1.
