Traveling Waves, Front Selection, and Exact Nontrivial Exponents in a Random Fragmentation Problem

Traveling Waves, Front Selection, and Exact Nontrivial Exponents in a Random Fragmentation Problem

We study a random bisection problem where an interval of length x is cut into two random fragments at the first stage, then each of these two fragments is cut further, etc. We compute the probability P(n)(x) that at the nth stage, each of 2(n) fragments is shorter than 1. …
