Abstract

The Bernoulli sieve is a random allocation scheme obtained by placing independent points with the uniform [0,1] law into the intervals made up by successive positions of a multiplicative random walk with factors taking values in the interval (0,1). Assuming that the number of points is equal to n we investigate the weak convergence, as n tends to infinity, of finite-dimensional distributions of the number of empty intervals within the occupancy range. A new argument enables us to relax the constraints imposed in previous papers on the distribution of the factor of the multiplicative random walk.
