A subjective Bayesian approach to the theory of queues II — Inference and information in M/M/1 queues

This is a sequel to Part I of A Subjective Bayesian Approach to the Theory of Queues. The focus here is on inference and a use of Shannon's measure of information for assessing the amount of information conveyed by the various types of data from queues. The notation and terminology used here is established in Part I.     

Modelling and analysis of M/G a,b /1/N queue – A simple alternative approach

In this paper, we consider a single-server finite-capacity queue with general bulk service rule where customers arrive according to a Poisson process and service times of the batches are arbitrarily distributed. The queue is analyzed using both the supplementary variable and imbedded Markov chain techniques. The relations between state probabilities at departure and arbitrary epochs have been presented in explicit forms.

GaP:N和GaAs1-xPx:中的束缚激子依赖于激子声子耦合的辐射复合的热猝灭

我们从实验中发现,在N掺杂的GaP和Ga(As,P)中,零声子辐射带与相应的声子伴带的热猝灭过程是不同的。声子伴带的热猝灭强烈地依赖于激子声子的耦合,呈现出一种相干的特性。     

Performance of the（BMAP1, BMAP2 ）/（PH1, PH2 ）/N Retrial Queueing System with Finite Buffer

This paper consider the （BMAP1, BMAP2）/（PH1, PH2）/N retrial queue with finite-position buffer. The behavior of the system is described in terms of continuous time multi-dimensional Markov chain. Arriving type I calls find all servers busy and join the buffer, if the positions of the buffer are insufficient, they can go to orbit. Arriving type II calls find all servers busy and join the orbit directly. Each server can provide two types heterogeneous services with Phase-type （PH） time distribution to every arriving call （including types I and II calls）, arriving calls have an option to choose either type of services. The model is quite general enough to cover most of the systems in communication networks. We derive the ergodicity condition, the stationary distribution and the main performance characteristics of the system. The effects of various parameters on the system performance measures are illustrated numerically.     

On Instability of the Rayleigh–Bénard Problem without Thermal Diffusion in a Bounded Domain under L1-Norm

We investigate the thermal instability of a three-dimensional Rayleigh–Bénard(RB for short) problem without thermal diffusion in a bounded domain. First we construct unstable solutions in exponential growth modes for the linear RB problem. Then we derive energy estimates for the nonlinear solutions by a method of a prior energy estimates, and establish a Gronwall-type energy inequality for the nonlinear solutions. Finally, we estimate for the error of L¹-norm between the both solution...     

Positive Solutions of a Nonlinear Elliptic Equation in {x∈R2:|x|>1}

We prove the existence of infinitely many solutions for the nonlinear elliptic equation u+f(.,u)=0 in D with u>0 in D and u=0 on D, where D={xR ²:|x|>1} and f is a measurable function dominated by a regular function q such that q(x,Log|x|) is in a some Kato class.     

XXZ Spin Chain with the Asymmetry Parameter Δ = −1/2: Evaluation of the Simplest Correlators

We consider a finite XXZ spin chain with periodic boundary conditions and an odd number of sites. It appears that for the special value of the asymmetry parameter = –1/2, the ground state of this system described by the Hamiltonian has the energy E ₀ = –3N/2. Although the ground state is antiferromagnetic, we can find the corresponding solution of the Bethe equations. Specifically, we can explicitly construct a trigonometric polynomial Q(u) of degree n = (N–1)/2, whose zeros are the parameters of the Bethe wave function for the ground state of the system. As is known, this polynomial satisfies the Baxter T–Q equation. This equation also has a second independent solution corresponding to the same eigenvalue of the transfer matrix T. We use this solution to find the derivative of the ground-state energy of the XXZ chain with respect to the crossing parameter . This derivative is directly related to one of the spin–spin correlators, which appears to be . In turn, this correlator gives the average number of spin strings for the ground state of the chain, . All these simple formulas fail if the number N of chain sites is even.     

Smoothness Theorems for Erds Weights, II

We obtain new characterizations of smoothness, saturation results, and existence theorems of derivatives for weighted polynomials associated with Erds weights on the real line. Our methods rely heavily on realization functionals.     

q-Moduli of Continuity in H( ), p>0, and an Inequality of Hardy and Littlewood

Some aspects of the interplay between approximation properties of analytic functions and the smoothness of its boundary values are discussed. One main result describes the equivalence of a special q-modulus of continuity and an intrinsic K-functional. Further, a generalization of a theorem due to G. H. Hardy and J. E. Littlewood (1932, Math. Z.34, 403–439) on the growth of fractional derivatives is deduced with the help of this K-functional.     

Low increasing tower of algebraic function fields and bilinear complexity of multiplication in any extension of

From the existence of a tower of algebraic function fields with more steps than the Garcia–Stichtenoth tower, we improve upper bounds on the bilinear complexity of multiplication in all extensions of the finite field where q is an arbitrary prime power.     

Hadamard foliations of

We introduce the notion of an Hadamard foliation as a foliation of Hadamard manifold which all leaves are Hadamard.We prove that a foliation of an Hadamard manifold M of curvature −a² with a norm of the second fundamental form is Hadamard. For we construct a canonical embedding of the union of leaf boundaries into the boundary of . This embedding is continuous and it is homeomorphism on any fixed leaf boundary.Some methods of hyperbolic geometry are developed. It is shown that a ray in with the bounded by κ<1 curvature has a limit on the boundary.     

Boundary penalty finite element methods for blending surfaces, . Superconvergence and stability and examples

This paper is Part III of the study on blending surfaces by partial differential equations (PDEs). The blending surfaces in three dimensions (3D) are taken into account by three parametric functions, x(r,t),y(r,t) and z(r,t). The boundary penalty techniques are well suited to the complicated tangent (i.e., normal derivative) boundary conditions in engineering blending. By following the previous papers, Parts I and II in Li (J. Comput. Math. 16 (1998) 457–480; J. Comput. Appl. Math. 110 (1999) 155–176) the corresponding theoretical analysis is made to discover that when the penalty power σ=2, σ=3 (or 3.5) and 0<σ1.5 in the boundary penalty finite element methods (BP-FEMs), optimal convergence rates, superconvergence and optimal numerical stability can be achieved, respectively. Several interesting samples of 3D blending surfaces are provided, to display the remarkable advantages of the proposed approaches in this paper: unique solutions of blending surfaces, optimal blending surfaces in minimum energy, ease in handling the complicated boundary constraint conditions, and less CPU time and computer storage needed. This paper and Li (J. Comput. Math. 16 (1998) 457–480; J. Comput. Appl. Math.) provide a foundation of blending surfaces by PDE solutions, a new trend of computer geometric design.
