Comparison of order statistics in a random sequence to the same statistics with I.I.D. variables

Jean-Louis Bon, Eugen Păltănea (2006)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

The paper is motivated by the stochastic comparison of the reliability of non-repairable k -out-of- n systems. The lifetime of such a system with nonidentical components is compared with the lifetime of a system with identical components. Formally the problem is as follows. Let U i , i = 1 , . . . , n , be positive independent random variables with common distribution F . For λ i > 0 and μ > 0 , let consider X i = U i / λ i and Y i = U i / μ , i = 1 , . . . , n . Remark that this is no more than a change of scale for each term. For k { 1 , 2 , . . . , n } , let us define X k : n to be the k th order statistics...

Complexity of partial inverse assignment problem and partial inverse cut problem

Xiaoguang Yang (2001)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

For a given partial solution, the partial inverse problem is to modify the coefficients such that there is a full solution containing the partial solution, while the full solution becomes optimal under new coefficients, and the total modification is minimum. In this paper, we show that the partial inverse assignment problem and the partial inverse minimum cut problem are NP-hard if there are bound constraints on the changes of coefficients.

Computation of the limiting distribution in queueing systems with repeated attempts and disasters

J. R. Artalejo, A. Gómez-Corral (2010)

RAIRO - Operations Research

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

Moshe Haviv, Rita Zlotnikov (2011)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

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 the greatest 𝐗 -eigenvector of a matrix in max-min algebra

Ján Plavka (2016)

Kybernetika

A vector x is said to be an eigenvector of a square max-min matrix A if A x = x . An eigenvector x of A is called the greatest 𝐗 -eigenvector of A if x 𝐗 = { x ; x ̲ x x ¯ } and y x for each eigenvector y 𝐗 . A max-min matrix A is called strongly 𝐗 -robust if the orbit x , A x , A 2 x , reaches the greatest 𝐗 -eigenvector with any starting vector of 𝐗 . We suggest an O ( n 3 ) algorithm for computing the greatest 𝐗 -eigenvector of A and study the strong 𝐗 -robustness. The necessary and sufficient conditions for strong 𝐗 -robustness are introduced and an efficient...
