Endogeny for the logistic recursive distributional equation (Q537683)

Summary: We prove the endogeny and bivariate uniqueness property for a particular ``max-type'' recursive distributional equation (RDE). The RDE we consider is the so called logistic RDE, which appears in the proof of the \(\zeta (2)\)-limit of the random assignment problem using the local weak convergence method proved by \textit{D. Aldous} [Probab. Theory Relat. Fields 93, No.~4, 507--534 (1992; Zbl 0767.60006)]. This article provides a non-trivial application of the general theory developed by \textit{D. Aldous} and \textit{A. Bandyopadhyay} [Ann. Appl. Probab. 15, No.~2, 1047--1110 (2005; Zbl 1105.60012)]. The proofs involve analytic arguments, which illustrate the need to develop more analytic tools for studying such max-type RDEs.
