In this paper, we complete the proof that these processes resolve a conjecture by Feng and Sun (2010) by showing that the processes of ranked atom sizes (or of ranked interval lengths) of these diffusions are members of a two-parameter family of diffusions introduced by Petrov (2009), extending a model by Ethier and Kurtz (1981) in the case $\\alpha=0$. The latter diffusions are continuum limits of up-down Chinese restaurant processes.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-01-22T19:49:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60J25", "60J60", "60G55", "60J35", "60J80" ], "keywords": [ "two-parameter fleming-viot diffusions", "ranked masses", "up-down chinese restaurant processes", "constructed fleming-viot-type measure-valued diffusions", "interval partitions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
