Convergence of random polygon sequences

Incheoul Chung, Xingping Sun and Songfeng Zheng

Vol. 15 (2022), No. 4, 547–558
Abstract

We study stochastic convergence of random polygon sequences and establish several criteria for a sequence of random polygons to converge almost surely to a random limit point. We also explore a special case in which the limit point is prescribed. Existing literature on convergence of polygon sequences can be considered as a case study herein when all the participating random variables obey Dirac delta distributions.

Keywords
ergodicity coefficients, Markov chains, random matrices, random polygons, stochastic convergence.
