Abstract: We construct a probability model seemingly unrelated to the considered stochastic process of coagulation and fragmentation. By proving for this model the local limit theorem, we establish the asymptotic formula for the partition function of the equilibrium measure for a wide class of parameter functions of the process. This formula proves the conjecture stated in [dgg] for the above class of processes. The method used goes back to A.Khintchine.

Review text

The authors investigate certain distributions \(\mu_N= \mu_N(a_1, \dots,a_N)\) on the set of all partitions of \(N\) depending on parameters \(a_1, \dots, a_N\in ]0,\infty[\). These distributions are quite interesting, as they appear as equilibrium measures for Markov process models of coagulation and fragmentation. The \(\mu_N\) are given explicitly by multinomial-type expressions up to the norming constants \(c_N=c_N(a_1, \dots,a_N)\), so-called partition functions, which also appear in other formulas regarding the \(\mu_N\). It was conjectured by R. Durrett, B. Granovsky, and S. Gueron that the existence of \(\lim a_N/a_{N+1}>0\) implies the existence of \(\lim c_N/c_{N+1}>0\). This conjecture is proved under an additional condition, and an asymptotic formula for the \(c_N\) is derived in this case. The proof is based on an integral representation for the \(c_N\) which involves the characteristic functions for sums of certain independent random variables. A local limit theorem for these sums then leads to results mentioned above.
