A stochastic min-driven coalescence process and its hydrodynamical limit

Anne-Laure Basdevant, Philippe Laurençot, James R. Norris, Clément Rau (2011)

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

A stochastic system of particles is considered in which the sizes of the particles increase by successive binary mergers with the constraint that each coagulation event involves a particle with minimal size. Convergence of a suitably renormalized version of this process to a deterministic hydrodynamical limit is shown and the time evolution of the minimal size is studied for both deterministic and stochastic models.

A two-scale approach to logarithmic Sobolev inequalities and the hydrodynamic limit

Natalie Grunewald, Felix Otto, Cédric Villani, Maria G. Westdickenberg (2009)

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

We consider the coarse-graining of a lattice system with continuous spin variable. In the first part, two abstract results are established: sufficient conditions for a logarithmic Sobolev inequality with constants independent of the dimension (Theorem 3) and sufficient conditions for convergence to the hydrodynamic limit (Theorem 8). In the second part, we use the abstract results to treat a specific example, namely the Kawasaki dynamics with Ginzburg–Landau-type potential.

A unified cost function for M/G/1 queueing systems with removable server.

Jesús R. Artalejo (1992)

Trabajos de Investigación Operativa

This article deals with the three classic policies for an M/G/1 queueing system (N, T, and D-policy). The optimum policies were compared in several precedent studies, but the comparison was performed employing different cost functions, so that the D-policy is superior to the N-policy when the cost function is based on the mean work-load, whilst the average queue length is used to show the superiority of the N-policy over the T-policy. In order to achieve a comparison of the three policies under...
