Good things come to those who wait-Decreasing impatience for health gains and losses.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Historically, time preferences are modelled by assuming constant discounting, which implies a constant level of impatience. The prevailing empirical finding, however, is decreasing impatience (DI), meaning that levels of impatience decrease over time ...

Mathematics, 2023 We consider a non-standard class of Markovian time: varying infinite capacity queues with possibly heterogeneous servers and impatience. We assume that during service time, a customer may switch to the faster server (with no delay), when such a server ...

Variant vacation queueing system with Bernoulli feedback, balking and server's states-dependent reneging [PDF]
Yugoslav Journal of Operations Research, 2021 We consider a single server Markovian feedback queue with variant of multiple vacation policy, balking, server’s states-dependent reneging, and retention of reneged customers.

Decreasing Impatience for Health Outcomes and Its Relation With Healthy Behavior
Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, 2018 There is a growing amount of literature suggesting people tend to behave inconsistently over time, which is driven by decreasing impatience. In addition, many studies have found relations between discounting estimates from experiments and field behavior,

Mathematics, 2023 In this paper, we analyze a multi-server queueing system with a marked Markov arrival process of two types of customers and a phase-type distribution of service time depending on the type of customer.

CoRR, 2019 In the coupon collector problem with $n$ items, the collector needs a random number of tries $T_n\simeq n\ln n$ to complete the collection. Also, after $nt$ tries, the collector has secured approximately a fraction $ζ_\infty(t)=1-e^{-t}$ of the complete collection, so we call $ζ_\infty$ the (asymptotic) \emph{completion curve}. In this paper, for $ν>

Impatience, Incentives, and Obesity [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2012 This paper explores the relationship between time preferences, economic incentives, and body mass index (BMI). Using data from the 2006 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, we …rst show that greater impatience increases BMI and the likelihood of obesity even after controlling for demographic, human capital, occupational, and …nancial characteristics ...

The impatience mechanism as a diversity maintaining and saddle crossing strategy
International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, 2016 The impatience mechanism diversifies the population and facilitates escaping from a local optima trap by modifying fitness values of poorly adapted individuals.

Optimization of Queueing Model with Server Heating and Cooling
Mathematics, 2019 The operation of many real-world systems, e.g., servers of data centers, is accompanied by the heating of a server. Correspondingly, certain cooling mechanisms are used. If the server becomes overheated, it interrupts processing of customers and needs to

Vehicles, 2022 Drivers are held responsible for the vast majority of traffic crashes. Although most of the errors causing these accidents are involuntary, a significant number of them are caused by irresponsible driving behaviors, which must be utterly preventable ...
