For a given ball $i$, randomly choose $k+k'$ bins; create k 'copies' of the ball (i.e., of the same color of the ball i); choose $k$ less color-loaded bins among the $k+k'$ chosen bins; throw a 'copy ball' into each of the chosen k bins. The question is again: what is the maximum expected color load ? | |
