Soft local times and decoupling of random interlacements

Serguei Popov, Augusto Teixeira (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

In this paper we establish a decoupling feature of the random interlacement process u d at level u , d 3 . Roughly speaking, we show that observations of u restricted to two disjoint subsets A 1 and A 2 of d are approximately independent, once we add a sprinkling to the process u by slightly increasing the parameter u . Our results differ from previous ones in that we allow the mutual distance between the sets A 1 and A 2 to be much smaller than their diameters. We then provide an important application of this...

Some aspects of balking and reneging in finite buffer queues

Amit Choudhury, Pallabi Medhi (2011)

RAIRO - Operations Research

In this paper, a single server finite buffer Markovian queuing system is analyzed with the additional restriction that customers may balk as well as renege. Reneging considered in literature is usually of position independent type where the reneging rate is constant irrespective of the position of the customer in the system. However there are many real world situations where this assumption does not hold. This paper is an attempt to model balking with position dependent reneging. Explicit closed...

Some examples of non-monotonicities in a two-unit redundant system

Antonín Lešanovský (1984)

Aplikace matematiky

A cold-standby redundant sytem with two identical units and one repair facility is considered. Units can be in three states: good ( I ) , degraded ( I I ) , and failed ( I I I ) . It is supposed that only the following state-transitions of a unit are possible: I I I , I I I I I , I I I , I I I I . The paper deals with the comparison of some initial situations of the system and with a stochastical improvement of units (stochastical increase of time of work in state I and/or stochastical decrease of times of repairs of the types I I I and/or I I I I ) and...
