Asymptotic Results in Broken Stick Models: The Approach via Lorenz Curves
A stick of length 1 is broken at random into <i>n</i> smaller sticks. How much inequality does this procedure produce? What happens if, instead of breaking a stick, we break a square? What happens asymptotically? Which is the most egalitarian distribution of the smaller sticks (or rectan...
