Title: Some stochastic properties of random classical and Carlitz compositions
Authors: Kheyfets, Boris Leonid
Keywords: Mathematics and computer science
Stochastic processes
Combinatorial analysis
Issue Date: 10-Jun-2004
Abstract: Several stochastic parameters of random classical and Carlitz (adjacent parts are different) compositions of integer n are considered. An exact formula is obtained for the average multiplicity and the variance of the multiplicity of a given part size in the classical case. Furthermore, an asymptotic estimate of the average number of distinct part sizes of a given multiplicity for Carlitz compositions is established. An extension of the Problem of Wilf to the Carlitz case is also presented.
