First passage probability assessment of stationary non-Gaussian process using the third-order polynomial transformation

assessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...

Non-polynomial third order equations which pass the Painlevé test

The singular point analysis of third-order ordinary differential equations in the nonpolynomial class are presented. Some new third order ordinary differential equations which pass the Painlevé test as well as the known ones are found.

On the Asymptotic Behavior of First Passage Time Densities for Stationary Gaussian Processes and Varying Boundaries∗

Making use of a Rice-like series expansion, for a class of stationary Gaussian processes the asymptotic behavior of the first passage time probability density function through certain time-varying boundaries, including periodic boundaries, is determined. Sufficient conditions are then given such that the density asymptotically exhibits an exponential behavior when the boundary is either asympto...
