Abstract

This paper presents a link between unbalanced non-linear urn model (a two-colored urn model) and stochastic approximation theory. Findings of our study reveal a successful establishment of limit laws for the urn composition, obtained under a drawing rule reinforced by an ℝ + $\mathbb {R}_{+}$ -valued concave function and a non-balanced replacement matrix.
