We derive the limiting waiting-time distribution $F_W$ of a model described by the Lindley-type equation $W=\max\{0, B - A - W\}$, where $B$ has a polynomial distribution. This exact solution is applied to derive approximations of $F_W$…
We consider the distributional fixed-point equation: $$R \stackrel{\mathcal{D}}{=} Q \vee \left( \bigvee_{i=1}^N C_i R_i \right),$$ where the $\{R_i\}$ are i.i.d.~copies of $R$, independent of the vector $(Q, N, \{C_i\})$, where $N \in…

This paper is concerned with incremental stability properties of nonlinear systems. We propose conditions to compute an upper bound on the incremental L2-gain and to assess incremental asymptotic stability of piecewise-affine (PWA) systems.…
This paper presents an analysis of the stochastic recursion $W_{i+1} = [V_iW_i+Y_i]^+$ that can be interpreted as an autoregressive process of order 1, reflected at 0. We start our exposition by a discussion of the model's stability…
