Applied Probability and Queues

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is defined by interrupted breathing during sleep due to airway obstruction with an ongoing respiratory effort. In adults, OSA most commonly is caused by decreased muscle tone (required for patency) in the soft tissues of the upper airway.[1][1] Symptoms of OSA include

Cerebrovascular Consequences of Obstructive Sleep Apnea

This paper takes under consideration subordinators and their inverse processes (hitting-times). The governing equations of such processes are presented by means of convolution-type integro-differential operators similar to the fractional derivatives. Furthermore the concept of time-changed C0-semigroup is discussed in case the time-change is performed by means of the hitting-time of a subordinator. Such time-change gives rise to bounded linear operators governed by integro-differential time-operators. Because these operators are non-local the presence of long-range dependence is investigated.

Convolution-Type Derivatives, Hitting-Times of Subordinators and Time-Changed C 0 -semigroups

In this work, we construct compositions of vector processes of the form , t > 0, , β ∈ (0, 1], , whose distribution is related to space-time fractional n-dimensional telegraph equations. We present within a unifying framework the pde connections of n-dimensional isotropic stable processes S2βn whose random time is represented by the inverse , t > 0, of the superposition of independent positively skewed stable processes, , t > 0, (H2ν1, Hν2, independent stable subordinators). As special cases for n = 1, and β = 1, we examine the telegraph process T at Brownian time B ([14]) and establish the equality in distribution , t > 0. Furthermore the iterated Brownian motion ([2]) and the two-dimensional motion at finite velocity with a random time are investigated. For all these processes, we present their counterparts as Brownian motion at delayed stable-distributed time.

Time-Changed Processes Governed by Space-Time Fractional Telegraph Equations

Relaxation patterns and semi-Markov dynamics

In this paper we consider point processes Nf(t), t > 0, with independent increments and integer-valued jumps whose distribution is expressed in terms of Bernstein functions f with Levy measure ν. We obtain the general expression of the probability generating functions Gf of Nf, the equations governing the state probabilities pkf of Nf, and their corresponding explicit forms. We also give the distribution of the first-passage times Tkf of Nf, and the related governing equation. We study in detail the cases of the fractional Poisson process, the relativistic Poisson process, and the gamma-Poisson process whose state probabilities have the form of a negative binomial. The distribution of the times τjlj of jumps with height lj (∑j=1rlj = k) under the condition N(t) = k for all these special processes is investigated in detail.

Counting processes with Bernštein intertimes and random jumps

In this paper we will take under consideration subordinators and their inverse processes (hitting-times). We will present in general the governing equations of such processes by means of convolution-type integro-differential operators similar to the fractional derivatives. Furthermore we will discuss the concept of time-changed $C_0$-semigroup in case the time-change is performed by means of the hitting-time of a subordinator. We will show that such time-change give rise to bounded linear operators not preserving the semigroup property and we will present their governing equations by using again integro-differential operators. Such operators are non-local and therefore we will investigate the presence of long-range dependence.
