Yield stress fluids method to determine the pore size distribution of a porous medium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
In this paper a new method is presented in order to determine the pore size distribution in a porous medium. This original technique uses the rheological properties of some non-Newtonian yield stress fluids flowing through the porous sample.

Phase-type distributions in population genetics [PDF]

open access: yesTheoretical Population Biology, 2018
Abstract Probability modelling for DNA sequence evolution is well established and provides a rich framework for understanding genetic variation between samples of individuals from one or more populations. We show that both classical and more recent models for coalescence (with or without recombination) can be described in terms of the ...

Recursive Approaches for Multi-Layer Dividend Strategies in a Phase-Type Renewal Risk Model

open access: yesRisks, 2022
In this paper we consider a risk model with two independent classes of insurance risks in the presence of a multi-layer dividend strategy. We assume that both of the claim number processes are renewal processes with phase-type inter-arrival times.

A Kronecker Algebra Formulation for Markov Activity Networks with Phase-Type Distributions

open access: yesMathematics, 2021
The application of theoretical scheduling approaches to the real world quite often crashes into the need to cope with uncertain events and incomplete information. Stochastic scheduling approaches exploiting Markov models have been proposed for this class

Polarization Mode Noise in Ultra-Low Drift Phase Reference Distribution System over Fiber Network [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The impact of polarization mode noise on the temporal drift of a delivered analogue phase reference signal through an optical fiber network is studied.

Inhomogeneous phase-type distributions and heavy tails [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Applied Probability, 2019
AbstractWe extend the construction principle of phase-type (PH) distributions to allow for inhomogeneous transition rates and show that this naturally leads to direct probabilistic descriptions of certain transformations of PH distributions. In particular, the resulting matrix distributions enable the carrying over of fitting properties of PH ...

A procedure for deriving new ODE models: Using the generalized linear chain trick to incorporate phase-type distributed delay and dwell time assumptions

open access: yesMathematics in Applied Sciences and Engineering, 2020
Ordinary differential equations models have a wide variety of applications in the fields of mathematics, statistics, and the sciences. Though they are widely used, these models are sometimes viewed as inflexible with respect to the incorporation of time ...

Queueing-Inventory with One Essential and m Optional Items with Environment Change Process Forming Correlated Renewal Process (MEP)

open access: yesMathematics, 2021
We consider a queueing inventory with one essential and m optional items for sale. The system evolves in environments that change randomly. There are n environments that appear in a random fashion governed by a Marked Markovian Environment change process.

Reliability Evaluation of Smart Meters Under Degradation-Shock Loads Based on Phase-Type Distributions

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
To address the problem that high-reliability and long-life complex products are susceptible to coupled fault mechanisms, and to address the challenge of constructing a macro fault behavior model for reliability evaluation, the reliability of a smart ...

Analyzing Non-Markovian Systems by Using a Stochastic Process Calculus and a Probabilistic Model Checker

open access: yesMathematics, 2023
The non-Markovian systems represent almost all stochastic processes, except of a small class having the Markov property; it is a real challenge to analyze these systems. In this article, we present a general method of analyzing non-Markovian systems. The
