Dynamical Systems Seminar




Abstract
 
I will describe some simple probabilistic Polya urns models which are governed, via the "stochastic approximation method", by deterministic dynamical systems which need not be simple, but which may nevertheless be tractable to some degree. This leads to interesting consequences for the underlying urn model. (Work in progress with Yuri Lima.)
