An estimation method for the reliability of "consecutive-k-out-of-n system" [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: 60K10, 60K20, 60J10, 60J20, 62G02, 62G05, 68M15, 62N05, 68M15.This paper is concerned with consecutive-k-out-of-n system in which all the components have the same q lifetime probability, so, it's possible to ...

Stationary distributions and mean first passage times of perturbed Markov chains

open access: yes, 1992
Stationary distributions of perturbed finite irreducible discrete time Markov chains are intimately connected with the behaviour of associated mean first passage times. This interconnection is explored through the use of generalized matrix inverses. Some

A Perturbation Theory for Ergodic Properties of Markov Chains [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Perturbations to Markov chains and Markov processes are considered. The unperturbed problem is assumed to be geometrically ergodic in the sense usually established through use of Foster-Lyapunov drift conditions.

Bell’s Jump Process in Discrete Time [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The jump process introduced by J. S. Bell in 1986, for defining a quantum field theory without observers, presupposes that space is discrete whereas time is continuous. In this letter, our interest is to find an analogous process in discrete time.

Knopfmacher Expansions in Number Theory

open access: yes, 2004
We survey in this paper J. Knopfmacher results on number theoretical expansions as they arised from our common collaboration. Mathematics Subject Classification (1991): 11K55, 60J10, 60G10, 60K99 Keywords: metric theory, algorithms, expansions, measure

A note on bandits with a twist

open access: yes, 2004
. A variant of the multi-armed bandit problem was recently introduced by Dimitriu, Tetali and Winkler. For this model (and a mild generalization) we propose faster algorithms to compute the Gittins index.

Practical drift conditions for subgeometric rates of convergence

open access: yes, 2008
We present a new drift condition which implies rates of convergence to the stationary distribution of the iterates of a ψ-irreducible aperiodic and positive recurrent transition kernel.

Numerically optimized Markovian coupling and mixing in one-dimensional maps [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Algorithms are introduced that produce optimal Markovian couplings for large finite-state-space discrete-time Markov chains with sparse transition matrices; these algorithms are applied to some toy models motivated by fluid-dynamical mixing problems at ...
