On a non-Markovian queueing problem under a control operating policy and start-up times

Arun Borthakur, Ruby Gohain (1982)

Aplikace matematiky

A non-Markovian queueing system with Poisson input is studied under a modified operating rule called “control operating policy” in which the server begins “start-up” only when the queue length reaches a fixed number n ( 1 ) . By using the supplementary variable technique, the distribution of the queue length (excluding those being served) in the form of a generating function is obtained. As a special case, a Markovian queueing system with exponential start-up is discussed in detail to analyse the economic...

On a probabilistic interpretation of shape derivatives of Dirichlet groundstates with application to Fermion nodes

Mathias Rousset (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

This paper considers Schrödinger operators, and presents a probabilistic interpretation of the variation (or shape derivative) of the Dirichlet groundstate energy when the associated domain is perturbed. This interpretation relies on the distribution on the boundary of a stopped random process with Feynman-Kac weights. Practical computations require in addition the explicit approximation of the normal derivative of the groundstate on the boundary. We then propose to use this formulation in the...

On a problem by Schweizer and Sklar

Fabrizio Durante (2012)

Kybernetika

We give a representation of the class of all n -dimensional copulas such that, for a fixed m , 2 m < n , all their m -dimensional margins are equal to the independence copula. Such an investigation originated from an open problem posed by Schweizer and Sklar.

On a relation between norms of the maximal function and the square function of a martingale

Masato Kikuchi (2013)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Let Ω be a nonatomic probability space, let X be a Banach function space over Ω, and let ℳ be the collection of all martingales on Ω. For f = ( f ) n , let Mf and Sf denote the maximal function and the square function of f, respectively. We give some necessary and sufficient conditions for X to have the property that if f, g ∈ ℳ and | | M g | | X | | M f | | X , then | | S g | | X C | | S f | | X , where C is a constant independent of f and g.
