Compound geometric approximation under a failure rate constraint
We consider compound geometric approximation for a nonnegative, integervalued random variable W . The bound we give is straightforward but relies on having a lower bound on the failure rate of W . Applications are presented to M/G/1 queuing systems, for which we state explicit bounds in approximations for the number of customers in the system and the number of customers served during a busy per...
متن کاملStein’s Method for Compound Geometric Approximation
We apply Stein’s method for probabilistic approximation by a compound geometric distribution, with applications to Markov chain hitting times and sequence patterns. Bounds on our Stein operator are found using a complex analytical approach based on generating functions and Cauchy’s formula.
متن کاملTools to Deal with Under-constrained Geometric Constraint Graphs
We present tools for handling geometric constraint problems with under-constrained configurations. The basic idea is to add to the given set of constraints a set of extra constraints which can be defined either automatically or drawn from an independently given set of constraints placed on some geometric elements of the problem. In both cases, the resulting completed set of constraints is not o...
متن کاملA Compound Poisson Approximation Inequality
We give conditions under which the number of events which occur in a sequence of m-dependent events is stochastically smaller than a suitably defined compound Poisson random variable. The results are applied to counts of sequence pattern appearances and to system reliability. We also provide a numerical example.
متن کاملOptimal Design of Geometrically Nonlinear Structures Under a Stability Constraint
This paper suggests an optimization-based methodology for the design of minimum weight structures with kinematic nonlinear behavior. Attention is focused on three-dimensional reticulated structures idealized with beam elements under proportional static loadings. The algorithm used for optimization is based on a classical optimality criterion approach using an active-set strategy for extreme lim...
