On some tractable growth collapse processes with renewal collapse epochs
In this paper we generalize existing results for the steady state distribution of growth collapse processes with independent exponential inter-collapse times to the case where they have a general distribution on the positive real line having a finite mean. In order to compute the moments of the stationary distribution, no further assumptions are needed. However, in order to compute the stationa...
متن کاملCollapse, environment, and society.
Historical collapse of ancient states poses intriguing social-ecological questions, as well as potential applications to global change and contemporary strategies for sustainability. Five Old World case studies are developed to identify interactive inputs, triggers, and feedbacks in devolution. Collapse is multicausal and rarely abrupt. Political simplification undermines traditional structures...
متن کاملDiffusion in Random Environment and the Renewal Theorem
According to a theorem of S. Schumacher and T. Brox, for a diffusion X in a Brownian environment it holds that (Xt − blog t)/ log 2 t → 0 in probability, as t → ∞, where b · is a stochastic process having an explicit description and depending only on the environment. In the first part of this paper we compute the distribution of the sign changes for b on an interval [1, x] and study some of the...
متن کاملMechanism for microbial population collapse in a fluctuating resource environment
Managing trade-offs through gene regulation is believed to confer resilience to a microbial community in a fluctuating resource environment. To investigate this hypothesis, we imposed a fluctuating environment that required the sulfate-reducer Desulfovibrio vulgaris to undergo repeated ecologically relevant shifts between retaining metabolic independence (active capacity for sulfate respiration...
متن کاملConcave Renewal Functions Do Not Imply Dfr Interrenewal Times
Brown (1980), (1981) proved that the renewal function is concave if the interrenewal distribution is DFR (decreasing failure rate), and conjectured the converse. This note settles Brown’s conjecture with a class of counterexamples. We also give a short proof of Shanthikumar’s (1988) result that the DFR property is closed under geometric compounding.
