A bulk-arrival single server queueing system with second multi-optional service and unreliable server is studied in this paper. Customers arrive in batches according to a homogeneous Poisson process, all customers demand the first “essential” service, whereas only some of them demand the second “multi-optional” service. The first service time and the second service all have general distribution and they are independent. We assume that the server has a service-phase dependent, exponentially distributed life time as well as a servicephase dependent, generally distributed repair time. Using a supplementary variable method, we obtain the transient and the steady-state solutions for both queueing and reliability measures of interest.
In this paper, we propose a new time-dependent model for solving total variation (TV) minimization problems in image restoration. The main idea is applying a priori smoothness on the solution image. Five di?erent BCs are introduced and analyzed. 2D numerical experimental results by explicit numerical schemes are discussed.
In this paper we apply the (variant) fountain theorems to study the symmetric nonlinear Kirchhoff nonlocal problems. Under the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz’s 4-superlinearity condition, or no Ambrosetti- Rabinowitz’s 4-superlinearity condition, we present two results of existence of infinitely many large energy solutions, respectively.
In this paper we consider the bifurcation problem -divA(x,▽u) = λa(x)|u|p-2u + f(x, u, λ) in Ω with p > 1.Under some proper assumptions on A(x, ξ),a(x) and f(x, u, λ), we show that the existence of an unbounded branch of positive solutions bifurcating from the principal eigenvalue of the problem -divA(x,▽u) =λa(x)|u|p-2u.
In this paper, we continue the discussion of [12] to establish the Hermite pseudospectral method with weight ω(x) ≡ 1. As an application, we consider the pseudospectral approximation of the reaction-diffusion equation on the whole line, we prove the existence of the approximate attractor and give the error estimate for the approximate solution.
In this paper, we apply the theory of planar dynamical systems to carry out qualitative analysis for the dynamical system corresponding to B-BBM equation, and obtain global phase portraits under various parameter conditions. Then, the relations between the behaviors of bounded traveling wave solutions and the dissipation coefficient μ are investigated. We find that a bounded traveling wave solution appears as a kink profile solitary wave solution when μ is more than the critical value obtained in this paper, while a bounded traveling wave solution appears as a damped oscillatory solution when μ is less than it. Furthermore, we explain the solitary wave solutions obtained in previous literature, and point out their positions in global phase portraits. In the meantime, approximate damped oscillatory solutions are given by means of undetermined coefficients method. Finally, based on integral equations that reflect the relations between the approximate damped oscillatory solutions and the implicit exact damped oscillatory solutions, error estimates for the approximate solutions are presented.
This paper deals with the standing waves for a class of coupled nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations with space dimension By using the variational calculus and scaling argument, we establish the existence of standing waves with ground state, discuss the behavior of standing waves as a function of the frequency ω and give the sufficient conditions of the stability of the standing waves with the least energy for the equations under study.
The state 0 of a birth and death process with state space E = {0, 1, 2, · · ·} is a barrier which can be classified into four kinds: reflection, absorption, leaping reflection, quasi-leaping reflection. For the first, second and fourth barriers, the characteristic numbers of different forms have been introduced. In this paper unified characteristic numbers for birth and death processes with barriers were introduced, the related equations were solved and the solutions were expressed by unified characteristic numbers. This paper concerns work solving probability construction problem of birth and death processes with leaping reflection barrier and quasi-leaping reflection barrier.
A new coincidence theorem for admissible set-valued mappings is proved in FC-spaces with a more general convexity structure. As applications, an abstract variational inequality, a KKM type theorem and a fixed point theorem are obtained. Our results generalize and improve the corresponding results in the literature.
A problem that frequently occurs in biological experiments with laboratory animals is that some subjects are less susceptible to the treatment group than others. Finite mixture models have traditionally been used to describe the distribution of responses in treated subjects for such studies. In this paper, we first study the mixture normal model with multi-levels and multiple mixture sub-populations under each level, with particular attention being given to the model in which the proportions of susceptibility are related to dose levels, then we use EM-algorithm to find the maximum likelihood estimators of model parameters. Our results are generalizations of the existing results. Finally, we illustrate realistic significance of the above extension based on a set of real dose-response data.
X. Deng et al. proved Chvátal’s conjecture on maximal stable sets and maximal cliques in graphs. G. Ding made a conjecture to generalize Chvátal’s conjecture. The purpose of this paper is to prove this conjecture in planar graphs and the complement of planar graphs.
Let (Xt)t≥0 be a Lévy process taking values in Rd with absolutely continuous marginal distributions. Given a real measurable function f on Rd in Kato’s class, we show that the empirical mean converges to a constant z in probability with an exponential rate if and only if f has a uniform mean z. This result improves a classical result of Kahane et al. and generalizes a similar result of L. Wu from the Brownian Motion to general Lévy processes.
In this paper, we study the rooted nonseparable maps on the sphere and the projective plane with the valency of root-face and the number of edges as parameters. Explicit expression of enumerating functions are obtained for such maps on the sphere and the projective plane. A parametric expression of the generating function is obtained for such maps on the projective plane, from which asymptotic evaluations are derived. Moreover, if the number of edges is sufficiently large, then almost all nonseparable maps on the projective plane are not triangulation.
In this paper, we give an upper estimate for the Clarke-Rockafellar directional derivatives of a function of the form f - g, where f, g are max-functions defined by locally Lipschitz but not necessarily differentiable functions on a closed convex set in a Euclidean space. As an application, we give a sufficient condition for f - g to have an error bound.
The paper obtains some equivalent conditions of local asymptotics for the solutions of defective renewal equations in the heavy-tailed case. As applications, the paper gives a different proof of a classical result about the local distribution of the supremum of a random walk. These results are also applied in examples involving the renewal function for terminating renewal processes and the age-dependent branching processes.
In this paper, we consider the following nonlinear equation ut + 2kux - uxxt + au2ux = 2uxuxx + uuxxx, which is a modified form of the Camassa-Holm equation. We construct four new explicit periodic wave solutions by bifurcation method of dynamical systems. We also obtain two explicit solitary wave solutions via the limits of the explicit periodic wave solutions. One of the two solitary wave solutions is new.
In this paper we get some relations between α(G), α′(G), β(G), β′(G) and αT (G), βT (G). And all bounds in these relations are best possible, where α(G), α′(G), β(G), β′(G), αT (G) and βT (G) are the covering number, edge-covering number, independent number, edge-independent number (or matching number), total covering number and total independent number, respectively.
