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.

Impatience and Uncertainty: Experimental Decisions Predict Adolecents' Field Behavior [PDF]
, 2010 We study risk attitudes, ambiguity attitudes, and time preferences of 661 children and adolescents, aged ten to eighteen years, in an incentivized experiment. We relate experimental choices to field behavior. Experimental measures of impatience are found

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 ...

Delay discounting and risky choice: Meta-analytic evidence regarding single-process theories
Judgment and Decision Making, 2020 Preferences about delayed rewards and preferences about risk are central to the literature on decision making. Several proposals suggest that such preferences arise from a single process and thus predict strong associations between preferences about ...

M/M/c/N queuing systems with encouraged arrivals, reneging, retention and feedback customers [PDF]
Yugoslav Journal of Operations Research, 2018 Customers often get attracted by lucrative deals and discounts offered by firms. These, attracted customers are termed as encouraged arrivals. In this paper, we developed a multi-server Feedback Markovian queuing model with encouraged arrivals, customer ...

Journal of Theoretical Probability, 2019 We introduce a new type of random walk where the definition of edge reinforcement is very different from the one in the reinforced random walk models studied so far, and investigate its basic properties, such as null/positive recurrence, transience, and speed. Two basic cases will be dubbed "impatient" and"ageing" random walks.

Spectrum Renting with Two Finite Source Pools in Mobile Cellular Networks
Communications, 2015 Spectrum renting is a technique for improving the efficiency of spectrum usage and alleviating the scarcity of the available spectrum in mobile cellular networks. Since the first proposal of spectrum pooling, several works have been done in this area. In
