Devising and investigating random processes that describe mathematical models of phenomena is a major aspect of probability theory applications. Stochastic methods have penetrated into an unimaginably wide scope of problems encountered by researchers who need stochastic methods to solve problems and further their studies. This handbook supplies the knowledge you need on the modern theory of random processes. Packed with methods, Models of Random Processes: A Handbook for Mathematicians and Engineers presents definitions and properties on such widespread processes as Poisson, Markov, semi-Markov, Gaussian, and branching processes, and on special processes such as cluster, self-exiting, double...
One of the greatest problems in engineering is reliability. The performance of all machinery degrades over time and unless counteraction is taken at some point, any system will eventually fail. Once a system fails there are a number of possible solutions; the mathematical and statistical measurement and analysis of these solutions forms the mathematical theory of reliability. The aim of the authors is to concentrate on aspects of particular importance in the mathematical theory of reliability of time dependent systems rather than give a general overview. Particular emphasis is placed on fault tree analysis, Monte Carlo methods and importance measures. This book will be of particular interest...
Dieses Buch präsentiert die Grundlagen der stochastischen Modellierung — Maßtheorie, Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie, Theorie stochastischer Prozesse und Markov-Theorie — in ihrer natürlichen Aufbaufolge. Damit und ergänzt durch einen Anhang zu wichtigen Begriffsbildungen der allgemeinen Topologie, werden die wesentlichen Aussagen der Warteschlangentheorie auf ein solides mathematisches Fundament gestellt. Kapitel 5 behandelt klassische Markov- und Semi-Markov-Modelle, die Phasenmethode, Markov-additive Ankunftsprozesse, das BMAP/G/1-System und Matrix-geometrische Verteilungen. Kapitel 6 ist räumlichen Ankunftsprozessen vom Typ BMAP gewidmet (Modellierung zeitlich variierender und flächenhaft verteilter Bedienanforderungen mittels zufälliger Punktfelder). Gegenstand des letzten Kapitels sind Reversibilitäts- und Balance-Eigenschaften klassischer Warteschlangennetze. Studierende der Mathematik, Informatik und Elektrotechnik führt das Buch in die breit gestreute wissenschaftliche Literatur zum Thema ein.

The Russian critic M. M. Bakhtin has recently become a major figure in contemporary theory beyond his traditional influence in Slavic literary studies. Bakhtin in Contexts explores the revolutionary impact Bakhtin's ideas have carried in contemporary discussion of language, art, culture, and social science in recent years. The contributors represent a broad range of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, epitomizing the views of Russian and American specialists in those fields Bakhtin often referred to as "the human sciences." The diversity of perspective and flexibility of approach make this a unique contribution to Bakhtin studies and to the ongoing dialogue between Western and Russian theorists.
The method of. fractional steps, known familiarly as the method oi splitting, is a remarkable technique, developed by N. N. Yanenko and his collaborators, for solving problems in theoretical mechanics numerically. It is applicable especially to potential problems, problems of elasticity and problems of fluid dynamics. Most of the applications at the present time have been to incompressible flow with free bound aries and to viscous flow at low speeds. The method offers a powerful means of solving the Navier-Stokes equations and the results produced so far cover a range of Reynolds numbers far greater than that attained in earlier methods. Further development of the method should lead to compl...
