Normalized sum of uniformly distributed random variables Let $X_1,\dots,X_n \sim U([0,1])$ be $n$ i.i.d. random variables uniformly distributed over $[0,1]$. 
Define for all $i = 1,\dots,n$, $Y_i = X_i/\sum_{i = 1}^n X_i$. Does this correspond to some well-known family of distributions? What is the expected value of $\max Y_i$ or of $\min Y_i$?
 A: Since the $Y_i$ all have the same normalization, 
$$ \dfrac{\max Y_i}{\min Y_i} = \dfrac{\max X_i}{\min X_i}$$
Note that for $0 < t < s < 1$, 
$$ \mathbb P(t < \min X_i, \max X_i \le s) = \mathbb P({\text all }\ X_i \in (t,s]) = (s-t)^n$$
Thus the joint density of $(\min X_i, \max X_i)$ is $f(x,y) = n (n-1) (y-x)^{n-2}$ for $0 < x < y < 1$.
However, this has nonzero limits as $x \to 0$, and   $\mathbb E[(\max X_i)/(\min X_i)] = \infty$ (the integral diverges).
EDIT: For the revised question, condition on $\max X_i$.
The density of $\max X_i$ is $n x^{n-1}$.
Given the maximum is $X_j = t$, the other $X_i$ are independent uniform on $[0,t]$.  Thus the conditional expectation of $\max Y_i$ given $\max X_i = t$ is the expected value of $1/(1+S)$ where $S$ is the sum of $n-1$ independent $U[0,1]$ random variables.  Now 
$$\mathbb E \left[ \dfrac{1}{1+S} \right] = \int_0^\infty \exp(-t) M_S(-t)\; dt$$
where $M_S(t) = \mathbb E[\exp(St)]$ is the moment generating function of $S$.  Now 
$$M_S(t) = \left(\dfrac{e^t-1}{t}\right)^{n-1}$$so that
$$ \mathbb E \left[ \dfrac{1}{1+S} \right] = \int_0^\infty \exp(-t) 
\left(\dfrac{1-e^{-t}}{t}\right)^{n-1}\; dt $$
I don't know if there is a closed form in general.
