Bounds to optimal burn‐in and optimal work size

Burn‐in is a widely used method to improve the quality of products or systems after they have been produced. In this paper, we consider the problem of determining the optimal burn‐in time and optimal work size maximizing the long‐run average amount of work saved per time unit in the computer applications. Assuming that the underlying lifetime distribution of the computer has an initially decreasing or/and eventually increasing failure rate function, an upper bound for the optimal burn‐in time is derived for each fixed work size and a uniform (with respect to the burn‐in time) upper bound for the optimal work size is also obtained. Furthermore, it is shown that a non‐trivial lower bound for the optimal burn‐in time can be derived if the underlying lifetime distribution has a large initial failure rate.

Mathematical analysis of autonomous and non-autonomous age-structured reaction-diffusion-advection population model

In this paper, we study an age-structured reaction-diffusion-advection population model. First, we use a non-densely defined operator to the linear age-structured reaction-diffusion-advection population model in a patchy environment. By spectral analysis, we obtain the asynchronous exponential growth of the population model. Then we consider nonlinear death rate and birth rate, which all depend on the function related to the generalized total population, and we prove the existence of a steady state of the system. Finally, we study the age-structured reaction-diffusion-advection population model in non-autonomous situations. We give the comparison principle and prove the eventual compactness of semiflow by using integrated semigroup. We also prove the existence of compact attractors under the periodic situation.

Adjoining Almost Disjoint Permutations

We show that it is consistent with ZFC + ¬CH that there is a maxima a most disjoint permutation family A ⊆ Sym(ℕ)such that A is a proper subset of an eventually different family E ⊆ ^ℕℕ and |A| < |E|. We also ask severa questions in this area.
