TL;DR: In this paper, a semi-regenerative approach was used to obtain the invariant probability measure and the transient distribution for the embedded Markov chain in a bulk single server queue.
Abstract: This article analyzes some stochastic processes that arise in a bulk single server queue with continuously operating server, state dependent compound Poisson input flow and general state dependent service process. The authors treat the queueing process as a semi–regenerative process and obtain the invariant probability measure and the transient distribution for the embedded Markov chain. The stationary probability measure for the queueing process with continuous time parameter is found by using semi-regenerative techniques. The authors also study the input and output processes and establish ergodic theorems for some functionals of these processes. The results are obtained in terms of the invariant probability measure for the embedded process and the stationary measure for the queueing process with continuous time parameter

Abstract: Hilbert space valued second order stochastic processes over the real line are considered. Various hmonizabilities and V-boundednesses are introduced and their interrelations are obtained as well as heir integral representations. Examples are given to distinguish most of the harmonizabilities. Stationary dilations of harmonizable processes are also discussed. Finally, for some harmonizabilities, some convergence theorems for sequences of processes are obtained

TL;DR: For the d-dimensional reflecting stochastic differential equations (1) with non-smooth boundary and unbounded domain the existence of a strong solution, (weak solution) is obtained under the conditions that the coefficients are less than linear growth and they are non-Lipschitz, (and the diffusion coefficient is non-degenerate, the drift coefficient is bounded and measurable only) as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: For the d–dimensional reflecting stochastic differential equations (1) with non-smooth boundary and unbounded domain the existence of a strong solution, (weak solution) is obtained under the conditions that the coefficients are less than linear growth and they are non-Lipschitz, (and the diffusion coefficient is non-degenerate, the drift coefficient is bounded and measurable only). Moreover, the Girsanov theorem and the martingale representation theorem with respect to system (1) are also derived. Then by using the Ekeland lemma and the martingale method the existence, necessary and sufficient conditions for an optimal control and an optimal control are obtained. The results are then applied to solve an optimal control problem for a stochastic population model

TL;DR: It is shown that in the case of dynamic routing, the SQRT is an excellent solution to remedy the performance degradation caused by CP and CS schemes.
Abstract: In this paper, the congestion control in store and forward computer com-munication networks is studied, the method employed consists of a combination of a dynamic routing policy that minimizes the delay, and buffer nianagement schemes to control the flow of data. Simulation using liner programming has been carried out, under balanced and transient traffic conditions, on a simple 3–node network , the relative merits and drawbacks of each approach are discussed. Irland [2], showed that with static routing, the SQRT scheme improves the switch performance. In this paper it is shown that in the case of dynamic routing, the SQRT is an excellent solution to remedy the performance degradation caused by CP and CS schemes

TL;DR: This paper focuses initially on an object recognition problem in which the characteristic features of the object are reported by remote sensors, and extends the method to a more general class of selection problems and considers several different scenarios.
Abstract: In this paper we consider the problem of selecting an object or a course of action from a set of possible alternatives. To give the paper focus, we concentrate initially on an object recognition problem in which the characteristic features of the object are reported by remote sensors. We then extend the method to a more general class of selection problems and consider several different scenarios. Information is provided by a set of knowledge system reports on a single feature, and the output from these systems is not totally explicit but provides posible values for the observed feature along with a degree of certitude.We use fuzzy sets to represent this vague information. Information from independent sources is combined using the Dempster-Shafer approach adapted to the situation in which the focal elements are fuzzy as in the recent paper by J. Yen [7]. We base our selection rule on the belief and plausibility functions generated by this approach to accessing evidence. For situations in which the informat...

TL;DR: In this article, an optimal sequential decision procedure for deciding between two composite hypotheses about the unknown failure rate of an exponential distribution, using censored data, is presented. But the procedure has two components, a stopping time and a decision function, and the main result determines the continuation region for the optimal decision procedure.
Abstract: This paper provides an optimal sequential decision procedure for deciding between two composite hypotheses about the unknown failure rate of an exponential distribution, using censored data. The procedure has two components, a stopping time and a decision function. The optimal stopping time minimizes the expected total loss due to a wrong decision plus cost of observing the process. The optimal decision function is easily characterized once a stopping time has been specified. The main result determines the continuation region for the optimal decision procedure

TL;DR: In this article, the convergence of a sequence of irreducible positive-recurrent Markov chains to a Markov chain ξ in terms of Fourier representation is studied.
Abstract: Convergence is studied of a sequence (nξ) of irreducible positive-recurrent Markov chains to a Markov chain ξ in term of Fourier representation. If (ζ∞,ωc) is the representative class of ξ by directed circuits c with the weights having a probabilistic interpretation in term of Sample paths,then the sum of all ωc for which the pair of states (i, j) is an arc of c is approximated by an almost surely convergent sequence of Fourier representations. When the weights have not a probabilistic interpretation then they can be explicitely given by an algorithm in term of the integral representation
