Maximum likelihood estimates and confidence intervals of an M/M/R/N queue with balking and heterogeneous servers

Kuo-Hsiung Wang, Sheau-Chyi Chen, Jau-Chuan Ke (2010)

RAIRO - Operations Research

This paper considers an M/M/R/N queue with heterogeneous servers in which customers balk (do not enter) with a constant probability (1 - b). We develop the maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters for the M/M/R/N queue with balking and heterogeneous servers. This is a generalization of the M/M/2 queue with heterogeneous servers (without balking), and the M/M/2/N queue with balking and heterogeneous servers in the literature. We also develop the confidence interval formula for the parameter...

Meeting time of independent random walks in random environment

Christophe Gallesco (2013)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We consider, in the continuous time version, γ independent random walks on Z+ in random environment in Sinai’s regime. Let Tγ be the first meeting time of one pair of the γ random walks starting at different positions. We first show that the tail of the quenched distribution of Tγ, after a suitable rescaling, converges in probability, to some functional of the Brownian motion. Then we compute the law of this functional. Eventually, we obtain results about the moments of this meeting time. Being...

Metastability in reversible diffusion processes I: Sharp asymptotics for capacities and exit times

Anton Bovier, Michael Eckhoff, Véronique Gayrard, Markus Klein (2004)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We develop a potential theoretic approach to the problem of metastability for reversible diffusion processes with generators of the form − ϵ Δ + ∇ F ( · ) ∇ on ℝ d or subsets of ℝ d , where F is a smooth function with finitely many local minima. In analogy to previous work on discrete Markov chains, we show that metastable exit times from the attractive domains of the minima of F can be related, up to multiplicative errors that tend to one as ϵ ↓ 0 , to the capacities of suitably constructed sets. We show that these capacities...

Metastability in reversible diffusion processes II: precise asymptotics for small eigenvalues

Anton Bovier, Véronique Gayrard, Markus Klein (2005)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We continue the analysis of the problem of metastability for reversible diffusion processes, initiated in [BEGK3], with a precise analysis of the low-lying spectrum of the generator. Recall that we are considering processes with generators of the form − ϵ Δ + ∇ F ( · ) ∇ on ℝ d or subsets of ℝ d , where F is a smooth function with finitely many local minima. Here we consider only the generic situation where the depths of all local minima are different. We show that in general the exponentially small part of the spectrum...

Microscopic concavity and fluctuation bounds in a class of deposition processes

Márton Balázs, Júlia Komjáthy, Timo Seppäläinen (2012)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

We prove fluctuation bounds for the particle current in totally asymmetric zero range processes in one dimension with nondecreasing, concave jump rates whose slope decays exponentially. Fluctuations in the characteristic directions have order of magnitude t1/3. This is in agreement with the expectation that these systems lie in the same KPZ universality class as the asymmetric simple exclusion process. The result is via a robust argument formulated for a broad class of deposition-type processes....
