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

Building mean field ODE models using the generalized linear chain trick & Markov chain theory
The well known linear chain trick (LCT) allows modellers to derive mean field ODEs that assume gamma (Erlang) distributed passage times, by transitioning individuals sequentially through a chain of sub-states.

Queuing models for cellular networks with generalised Erlang service distributions
Providing seamless handover is one of the major problems in mobile communication environments. Careful dimensioning of the network and the underlying teletraffic analysis plays a major role in determining the various grade of services (GoSs) that can be

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

On the canonical representation of phase type distributions [PDF]
The characterization and the canonical representation of order-n phase type distributions (PH(n)) is an open research problem. This problem is solved for n=2, since the equivalence of the acyclic and the general PH distributions has been proven for a long time.

On the nature of Phase-type Poisson distributions [PDF]
AbstractMatrix-form Poisson probability distributions were recently introduced as one matrix generalization of Panjer distributions. We show in this paper that under the constraint that their representation is to be nonnegative, they have a physical interpretation as extensions of PH distributions, and we name this restricted familyPhase-type Poisson ...

Deterministic and stochastic oscillations of fractal type during cooling of the melt [PDF]
A "single-phase" model of melt crystallization in the Penrose–Fife representation for temperature distributions under non-isothermal conditions is considered. The boundary conditions are assumed to be nonlinear and dynamic, i.e.

A generalized class of correlated run shock models
In this paper, a generalized class of run shock models associated with a bivariate sequence {(Xi, Yi)}i≥1 of correlated random variables is defined and studied. For a system that is subject to shocks of random magnitudes X1, X2, ...

Acyclic phase-type distributions form a versatile model, serving as approximations to many probability distributions in various circumstances. They exhibit special properties and characteristics that usually make their applications attractive.

Phase-type distributions in population genetics [PDF]
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 ...
