This paper proposes a totally asymmetric simple exclusion process on a traveling lane, which is equipped with a queueing system and functions of site assignments along the parking lane. In the proposed system, new particles arrive at the…
The interest to retrial queueing systems is due to their application to telephone systems. The paper studies multiserver retrial queueing systems with $n$ servers. Arrival process is a quite general point process. An arriving customer…
In this study, we consider traveler coupon redemption behavior from the perspective of an urban mobility service. Assuming traveler behavior is in accordance with the principle of utility maximization, we first formulate a baseline…
We develop new methodology to improve our understanding of the causal effects of multivariate air pollution exposures on public health. Typically, exposure to air pollution for an individual is measured at their home geographic region,…
The Monge-Kantorovich mass-transportation problem has been shown to be fundamental for various basic problems in analysis and geometry in recent years. Shen and Zheng (2010) proposed a probability method to transform the celebrated…
In this paper, we consider the number of both arrivals and departures seen by a tagged customer while in service in a classical $M/M/1$ processor sharing queue. By exploiting the underlying orthogonal structure of this queuing system…
The effect of laziness in the group chase and escape problem is studied using a simple model. The laziness is introduced as random walks in two ways: uniformly and in a "division of labor" way. It is shown that, while the former is always…
The freeze out of particles from a layer of finite thickness is discussed in a phenomenological kinetic model. The proposed model, based on the Modified Boltzman Transport Equation, is Lorentz invariant and can be applied equally well for…
A new distribution for systems of particles obeying statistical exclusion of correlated states is presented following the Haldane's state counting. It relies upon a conjecture to deal with the multiple exclusion that takes place when the…
A closed plane meander of order n is a closed self-avoiding loop intersecting an infinite line 2n times. Meanders are considered distinct up to any smooth deformation leaving the line fixed. We have developed an improved algorithm, based on…
In this paper we are interested in the task of searching and tracking multiple moving targets in a bounded surveillance area with a group of autonomous mobile agents. More specifically, we assume that targets can appear and disappear at…
We consider emergent situations that require transporting individuals from their locations to a facility using a single capacitated vehicle, where transportation duration has a negative impact on the individuals. A dispatcher determines…
We extend the paradigmatic and versatile TASEP (Totally Asymmetric Simple Exclusion Process) for stochastic 1d transport to allow for two different particle species, each having specific entry and exit rates. We offer a complete mean-field…
A flat membrane with given shape is displayed; two points in the membrane are randomly selected; the probability that the separation between the points have a specified value is sought. A simple method to evaluate the probability density is…
By disintegration of transport plans it is introduced the notion of transport class. This allows to consider the Monge problem as a particular case of the Kantorovich transport problem, once a transport class is fixed. The transport problem…
Disruptions to personnel rosters caused by absenteeism often necessitate last-minute adjustments to the employees' working hours. A common strategy to mitigate the impact of such changes is to assign employees to reserve shifts: special…
While motion planning approaches for automated driving often focus on safety and mathematical optimality with respect to technical parameters, they barely consider convenience, perceived safety for the passenger and comprehensibility for…
Practical problems with missing data are common, and statistical methods have been developed concerning the validity and/or efficiency of statistical procedures. On a central focus, there have been longstanding interests on the mechanism…
Multiple imputation is a straightforward method for handling missing data in a principled fashion. This paper presents an overview of multiple imputation, including important theoretical results and their practical implications for…
We allow representing and reasoning in the presence of nested multiple aggregates over multiple variables and nested multiple aggregates over functions involving multiple variables in answer sets, precisely, in answer set optimization…
