Hitting Times and Probabilities for Imprecise Markov Chains
[article]
2020
arXiv
pre-print
Our first contribution is that all these different types of imprecise Markov chains have the same lower and upper expected hitting times, and similarly the hitting probabilities are the same for these ...
We consider the problem of characterising expected hitting times and hitting probabilities for imprecise Markov chains. ...
We are very grateful to three anonymous reviewers for their helpful suggestions and constructive comments. ...

An Integrated Procedure for Bayesian Reliability Inference Using MCMC
2014
Journal of Quality and Reliability Engineering
The recent proliferation of Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) approaches has led to the use of the Bayesian inference in a wide variety of fields. ...
The goal is to build a framework for related academic research and engineering applications to implement modern computational-based Bayesian approaches, especially for reliability inferences. ...

To compute a lower bound, we divide the total program costs by the number of tested individual aged 14 years or younger. This exercise yields an internal rate of return of 0.032. ...
Hence, the calculated internal rate of return is an upper bound as our estimated effects on income are valid only for every tenth tested person. ...

Borel on the Heap

In 1907 Borel published a remarkable essay on the paradox of the Heap ("Un paradoxé economique: le sophisme du tas de blé et les vérités statistiques"), in which Borel proposes what is likely the first ...
The third concerns the problematic link between Borel's model of vagueness as imprecision and the notion of semantic indeterminacy. ...

Metastability of hard-core dynamics on bipartite graphs
[article]
2017
arXiv
pre-print
We obtain a sharp asymptotic estimate for the expected transition time, show that the transition time is asymptotically exponentially distributed, and identify the size and shape of the critical droplet ...
For various types of bipartite graphs the computations are made explicit. Proofs rely on potential theory for reversible Markov chains, and on isoperimetric results. ...
Therefore, we get a similar lower bound for the expected crossover time using Proposition 3.2. Proposition 8.4 (Lower bound for expected crossover time: Widom-Rowlinson). ...

Dynamics of the Tidal Fields and Formation of Star Clusters in Galaxy Mergers
[article]
2010
arXiv
pre-print
In interacting galaxies, strong tidal forces disturb the global morphology of the progenitors and give birth to the long stellar, gaseous and dusty tails often observed. ...
Furthermore, characteristic time- and energy scales of these modes match well those of self-gravitating substructures such as star clusters and tidal dwarf galaxies. ...
This can be interpreted by considering the birth and death rates of the clusters. ...
