Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides computational methods for studying properties of birth-death processes whose transition rates (infinitesimal generator) varies in accordance with a random, 'environmental', process. In particular, the models may be used to represent the availability fo redundant systems subject to external shocks or other 'common cause' failures. These models also represent search for an object when the search environment (e.g. weather) varies randomly in time. (Author).

Download or read book Perturbed Semi Markov Type Processes I written by Dmitrii Silvestrov and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-03-25 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first volume of a two-volume monograph devoted to the study of limit and ergodic theorems for regularly and singularly perturbed Markov chains, semi-Markov processes, and multi-alternating regenerative processes with semi-Markov modulation. The first volume presents necessary and sufficient conditions for weak convergence for first-rare-event times and convergence in the topology J for first-rare-event processes defined on regularly perturbed finite Markov chains and semi-Markov processes. The text introduces new asymptotic recurrent algorithms of phase space reduction. It also addresses both effective conditions of weak convergence for distributions of hitting times as well as convergence of expectations of hitting times for regularly and singularly perturbed finite Markov chains and semi-Markov processes. The book also contains a comprehensive bibliography of major works in the field. It provides an effective reference for both graduate students as well as theoretical and applied researchers studying stochastic processes and their applications.

Download or read book Performance Tools and Applications to Networked Systems written by Maria Carla Calzarossa and published by Springer. This book was released on 2004-04-05 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents revised versions of tutorial lectures given at the IEEE/CS Symposium on modeling, analysis, and simulation of computer and telecommunication systems held in Orlando, FL, USA in October 2003. The lectures are grouped into three parts on performance and QoS of modern wired and wireless networks, current advances in performance modeling and simulation, and other specific applications of these methodologies. This tutorial book is targeted to both practitioners and researchers. The practitioner will benefit from numerous pointers to performance and QoS issues; the pedagogical style and plenty of references will be of great use in solving practical problems. The researcher and advanced student are offered a representative set of topics not only for their research value but also for their novelty and use in identifying areas of active research.
Download or read book Introduction to Matrix Analytic Methods in Stochastic Modeling written by G. Latouche and published by SIAM. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Matrix analytic methods are popular as modeling tools because they give one the ability to construct and analyze a wide class of queuing models in a unified and algorithmically tractable way. The authors present the basic mathematical ideas and algorithms of the matrix analytic theory in a readable, up-to-date, and comprehensive manner. In the current literature, a mixed bag of techniques is used-some probabilistic, some from linear algebra, and some from transform methods. Here, many new proofs that emphasize the unity of the matrix analytic approach are included.
