Computation of the distance to semi-algebraic sets
Computation of the distance to semi-algebraic sets
This paper is devoted to the computation of distance to set, called S, defined by polynomial equations. First we consider the case of quadratic systems. Then, application of results stated for quadratic systems to the quadratic equivalent of polynomial systems (see [5]), allows us to compute distance to semi-algebraic sets. Problem of computing distance can be viewed as non convex minimization problem: , where u is in . To have, at least, lower approximation of distance, we consider the dual...
Computation of the limiting distribution in queueing systems with repeated attempts and disasters
Computation of the limiting distribution in queueing systems with repeated attempts and disasters
Single server queues with repeated attempts are useful in the modeling of computer and telecommunication systems. In addition, we consider in this paper the possibility of disasters. When a disaster occurs, all the customers present in the system are destroyed immediately. Using a regenerative approach, we derive a numerically stable recursion scheme for the state probabilities. This model can be employed to analyze the behaviour of a buffer in computers with virus infections.

Computational schemes for two exponential servers where the first has a finite buffer
We consider a system consisting of two not necessarily identical exponential servers having a common Poisson arrival process. Upon arrival, customers inspect the first queue and join it if it is shorter than some threshold n. Otherwise, they join the second queue. This model was dealt with, among others, by Altman et al. [Stochastic Models20 (2004) 149–172]. We first derive an explicit expression for the Laplace-Stieltjes transform of the distribution underlying the arrival (renewal) process to...

Computing and proving with pivots
A simple idea used in many combinatorial algorithms is the idea of pivoting. Originally, it comes from the method proposed by Gauss in the 19th century for solving systems of linear equations. This method had been extended in 1947 by Dantzig for the famous simplex algorithm used for solving linear programs. From since, a pivoting algorithm is a method exploring subsets of a ground set and going from one subset σ to a new one σ′ by deleting an element inside σ and adding an element outside σ: σ′ = σv} ∪ {u},...

Computing minimum norm solution of a specific constrained convex nonlinear problem
The characterization of the solution set of a convex constrained problem is a well-known attempt. In this paper, we focus on the minimum norm solution of a specific constrained convex nonlinear problem and reformulate this problem as an unconstrained minimization problem by using the alternative theorem.The objective function of this problem is piecewise quadratic, convex, and once differentiable. To minimize this function, we will provide a new Newton-type method with global convergence properties....

Computing the greatest -eigenvector of a matrix in max-min algebra
A vector is said to be an eigenvector of a square max-min matrix if . An eigenvector of is called the greatest -eigenvector of if and for each eigenvector . A max-min matrix is called strongly -robust if the orbit reaches the greatest -eigenvector with any starting vector of . We suggest an algorithm for computing the greatest -eigenvector of and study the strong -robustness. The necessary and sufficient conditions for strong -robustness are introduced and an efficient...
