Diffusion Approximations
In this chapter, we shall give an overview of some of the basic applications of the theory of diffusion approximations to operations research. A diffusion approximation is a technique in which a complicated and analytically intractable stochastic process is replaced by an appropriate diffusion process. A diffusion process is a (strong) Markov process having continuous sample paths. Diffusion pr...
متن کاملTheory and Numerical Approximations
We consider a nonlinear Dirac system in one space dimension with periodic boundary conditions. First, we discuss questions on the existence and uniqueness of the solution. Then, we propose an implicit-explicit finite difference method for its approximation, proving optimal order a priori error estimates in various discrete norms and showing results from numerical experiments.
متن کاملNovel moment closure approximations in stochastic epidemics.
Moment closure approximations are used to provide analytic approximations to non-linear stochastic population models. They often provide insights into model behaviour and help validate simulation results. However, existing closure schemes typically fail in situations where the population distribution is highly skewed or extinctions occur. In this study we address these problems by introducing n...
متن کاملDiffusion Approximations to Channel Noise
A birth and death process is considered in which X,(t) is the number of open channels in a patch of membrane containing n channels. The voltage response of such a patch to conductance fluctuations is obtained including moments and spectral density. Furthermore, a diffusion approximation, an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, is obtained based on a weak convergence result to represent the patch conduct...
متن کاملRefining Diffusion Approximations for Queues
Diffusion approximations and associated heavy-traffic Emit theorems have now become basic tools of queuing theory; e.g., see Gelenbe and Mitrani [3, Chapter 4], Kleinrock [8, Chapter 2]," Newell [12, Chapter 6] and references there. Under heavy-traffic condiuons, diffusion approximations are identified and justified by the heavy-traffic limit theorems: the diffusion process is obtained as the l...
