Abstract.Populations of items continuously manufactured and incepted into operation are characterized by the corresponding distribution of a random age at each instant of chronological time. In this study, we consider heterogeneous populations with lifetime distributions indexed by a frailty parameter. Two approaches to defining the age composition for the described populations are described and the corresponding stochastic comparisons are considered.Keywords: Age compositionfrailtyheterogeneous populationsproduction ratestochastic comparisons2010 Mathematics Subject Classification:: 60H3 AcknowledgmentsThe authors greatly thank the reviewers for their helpful comments and advice, which have improved the presentation of this paper.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authorsAdditional informationFundingThe work of the first author was supported by Basic Science Research Program through the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) funded by the Ministry of Education (Grant Number: 2019R1A6A1A11051177).

AbstractThe Pólya urn is the most representative example of a reinforced stochastic process. It leads to a random (non degenerated) time-limit. The Friedman urn is a natural generalization whose almost sure (a.s.) time-limit is not random any more. In this work, in the stream of previous recent works, we introduce a new family of (finite size) systems of reinforced stochastic processes, interacting through an additional collective reinforcement of mean field type. The two reinforcement rules strengths (one component-wise, one collective) are tuned through (possibly) two different rates. In special cases, these reinforcements are of Pólya or Friedman type as in urn contexts and may thus lead to limits which may be random or not. Different parameter regimes need to be considered. We state two kind of results. First, we study the time-asymptotic and show that L2 and a.s. convergence always holds. Moreover, all the components share the same time-limit (so called synchronization phenomenon). We study the nature of the limit (random/deterministic) according to the parameters’ regime considered. Second, we study fluctuations by proving central limit theorems. Scaling coefficients vary according to the regime considered. This gives insights into many different rates of convergence. In particular, we identify the regimes where synchronization is faster than convergence toward the shared time-limit.Keywords: Almost sure convergencecentral limit theoremsfluctuationsinteracting random systemsreinforced stochastic processesstable convergencesynchronization2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 60K35Primary 60F1560F05Secondary 62L20Secondary 62P35 AcknowledgmentsI would like to thank Professor Pierre-Yves Louis for introducing me to the problem and for all the useful comments and discussions.
