The proof is based on the method introduced in \\cite{DHS} combining with tessellation arguments to estimate the martingale difference. We also apply this method to get the linearity of the lengths of optimal paths.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-04-07T15:09:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "sublinear variance", "frog model", "passage time", "tessellation arguments", "martingale difference" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
