Exact and limiting distributions in diagonal Pólya processes (Q2502130)

From the authors' introduction: Our intent is to study the Pólya process in its own right for associated urns with diagonal structure, and obtain distribution. For a general urn of two colors, certain partial differential equations govern the evolution of the process. For urns with diagonal ball addition matrices, limit distributions are amenable via these equations. We are also optimistic that more general cases (not necessarily diagonal) may be within reach; this will be the subject of future work.
