Waiting Times for Ties in Random Competitions
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: Multiple teams participate in a random competition. In each round the winner receives one point. We study the times until ties occur among teams. We construct martingales and supermartingales that enable us to prove the results regarding these stopping times. The problems studied in this paper are motivated by their applications to databases and their storage engines that are based on augmented balanced search trees. The ties in the competitions are related to the necessary rebalancing operations that have to be executed on the database.
