A hydrodynamic limit and fluctuations for a Chinese restaurant-like process

Probability 2013-06-20 v1

Abstract

We study a Markov process constructed from the P\'olya sum process, which yields a kind of spatial version of the Chinese restaurant process, where each 'table' is assigned a 'location'. This construction firstly allows a definition of summation of independent processes, and secondly a monotone coupling for different parameters. Moreover, the process is related to a multi-particle random walk on the positive integers and its hydrodynamic limit and fluctuations are discussed.
