In this paper we consider a two-node tandem Jackson network. Starting from a given state, we are interested in estimating the probability that the content of the second buffer exc...
The study of factoring relations between subshifts or cellular automata is central in symbolic dynamics. Besides, a notion of intrinsic universality for cellular automata based on ...
Let ω denote the set of natural numbers. For functions f, g : ω → ω, we say that f is dominated by g if f(n) < g(n) for all but finitely many n ∈ ω. We consider the st...
In this paper we introduce a new random mapping model, T ^D n , which maps the set {1, 2, ..., n} into itself. The random mapping T ^D n is constructed using a collection of excha...
The probability that a term appears in relevant documents ( ) is a fundamental quantity in several probabilistic retrieval models, however it is difficult to estimate without rele...
