The partner model is an SIS epidemic in a population with random formation and dissolution of partnerships, and with disease transmission only occuring within partnerships. Foxall, Edwards, and van den Driessche found the critical value and studied the subcritical and supercritical regimes. Recently Foxall has shown that (if there are enough initial infecteds $I_0$) the extinction time in the critical model is of order $sqrt{N}$. Here we improve that result by proving the convergence of $i_N(t)=I(sqrt{N}t)/sqrt{N}$ to a limiting diffusion. We do this by showing that within a short time, this four dimensional process collapses to two dimensions: the number of $SI$ and $II$ partnerships are constant multiples of the the number of infected singles. The other variable, the total number of singles, fluctuates around its equilibrium like an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process of magnitude $sqrt{N}$ on the original time scale and averages out of the limit theorem for $i_N(t)$. As a by-product of our proof we show that if $tau_N$ is the extinction time of $i_N(t)$ (on the $sqrt{N}$ time scale) then $tau_N$ has a limit.

An inhomogeneous first--order integer--valued autoregressive (INAR(1)) process is investigated, where the autoregressive type coefficient slowly converges to one. It is shown that the process converges weakly to a Poisson or a compound Poisson distribution.
Trading of financial instruments has largely moved away from floor trading and onto electronic exchanges. Orders to buy and sell are queued at these exchanges in a {em limit-order book}. While a full analysis of the dynamics of a limit-order book req
uires an understanding of strategic play among multiple agents, and is thus extremely complex, so-called {em zero-intelligence Poisson models} have been shown to capture many of the statistical features of limit-order book evolution. These models can be addressed by traditional queueing theory techniques, including Laplace transform analysis. In this article, we demonstrate in a simple setting that another queueing theory technique, approximating the Poisson model by a diffusion model identified as the limit of a sequence of scaled Poisson models, can also be implemented. We identify the diffusion limit, find an embedded semi-Markov model in the limit, and determine the statistics of the embedded semi-Markov model. Along the way, we introduce and study a new type of process, a generalization of skew Brownian motion that we call {em two-speed Brownian motion}.
We are interested in the recursive model $(Y_n, , nge 0)$ studied by Collet, Eckmann, Glaser and Martin [9] and by Derrida and Retaux [12]. We prove that at criticality, the probability ${bf P}(Y_n>0)$ behaves like $n^{-2 + o(1)}$ as $n$ goes to infi
nity; this gives a weaker confirmation of predictions made in [9], [12] and [6]. Our method relies on studying the number of pivotal vertices and open paths, combined with a delicate coupling argument.
We consider a Moran model with two allelic types, mutation and selection. In this work, we study the behaviour of the proportion of fit individuals when the size of the population tends to infinity, without any rescaling of parameters or time. We fir
st prove that the latter converges, uniformly in compacts in probability, to the solution of an ordinary differential equation, which is explicitly solved. Next, we study the stability properties of its equilibrium points. Moreover, we show that the fluctuations of the proportion of fit individuals, after a proper normalization, satisfy a uniform central limit theorem in $[0,infty)$. As a consequence, we deduce the convergence of the corresponding stationary distributions.
We present an elementary approach to the order of fluctuations for the free energy in the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick mean field spin glass model at and near the critical temperature. It is proved that at the critical temperature the variance of the free
energy is of $O((log N)^2).$ In addition, we show that if one approaches the critical temperature from the low temperature regime at the rate $O(N^{-alpha})$ for some $alpha>0,$ then the variance is of $O((log N)^2+N^{1-alpha}).$
