Limit shape of random convex polygonal lines: Even more universality
Abstract
The paper concerns the limit shape (under some probability measure) of convex polygonal lines with vertices on , starting at the origin and with the right endpoint . In the case of the uniform measure, an explicit limit shape was found independently by Vershik (1994), B\'ar\'any (1995), and Sinai (1994). Recently, Bogachev and Zarbaliev (2011) proved that the limit shape is universal for a certain parametric family of multiplicative probability measures generalizing the uniform distribution. In the present work, the universality result is extended to a much wider class of multiplicative measures, including (but not limited to) analogs of the three meta-types of decomposable combinatorial structures -- multisets, selections and assemblies. This result is in sharp contrast with the one-dimensional case where the limit shape of Young diagrams associated with integer partitions heavily depends on the distributional type.
