Asset Pricing with Heterogeneous Consumers

TL;DR: In this paper, a joint process of arbitrage-free asset prices, dividends, and aggregate income is shown to be supported in the equilibrium of an economy with judiciously modeled income heterogeneity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lower bounds for covering times for reversible Markov chains and random walks on graphs

TL;DR: For simple random walk on aN-vertex graph, the mean time to cover all vertices is at leastcN log(N), wherec>0 is an absolute constant, deduced from a more general result about stationary finite-state reversible Markov chains.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Cross-Entropy Method for Combinatorial and Continuous Optimization

TL;DR: The mode of a unimodal importance sampling distribution, like the mode of beta distribution, is used as an estimate of the optimal solution for continuous optimization and Markov chains approach for combinatorial optimization.
Journal ArticleDOI

General state space Markov chains and MCMC algorithms

TL;DR: In this paper, a survey of results about Markov chains on non-countable state spaces is presented, along with necessary and sufficient conditions for geometrical and uniform ergodicity along with quantitative bounds on the rate of convergence to stationarity.
Journal ArticleDOI

On A Routing Problem

TL;DR: A modified version of the methods uses a coupling to give strong support to the design principle: It is better with few but quick servers.

Dynamic server allocation to parallel queues with randomly varying connectivity

TL;DR: In a system with a single buffer per queue, an allocation policy is obtained that maximizes the throughput and minimizes the delay when the arrival and service statistics of different queues are identical.
