| contents | In this work, recent results on the moments of balanced Pólya urns are generalized to unbalanced urns, with the condition that the expected change in total activity at each step is constant. We also provide applications of our results to the degree distributions of random trees grown by uniform attachment with freezing and to the degree distribution of hooking networks; in both cases we prove a normal limit law with convergence of all moments. |
