New research explores vocabulary growth using Bernstein functions and Hausdorff sequences

This research paper delves into the fundamental theories of vocabulary growth, utilizing mathematical frameworks such as Bernstein functions and Hausdorff sequences. The study connects these mathematical concepts to continuous-time Poisson point processes and discrete-time IID processes. It also integrates recent advancements in hapax rate models, specifically proving that the logistic hapax rate model defines a Bernstein function and analyzing the limitations of the Bernstein--Hausdorff theory when applied to stationary and Weibull renewal processes.

    Vocabulary Growth Fundamentals: Bernstein Functions and Hausdorff Sequences

    arXiv:2608.29449v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We survey the theory of vocabulary growth founded in the setting of stochastic processes. In particular, we model the expected number of types through Bernstein functions and Hausdorff sequences. These classes of mathematical obje…
