An analogy between celebrated Kendall equation for busy periods in the system M |GI|1 and analytical results for busy periods in the priority systemsMr|GIr |1 is drawn. These results can be viewed as generalizations of the functional Kendall equation. The methodology and algorithms of numerical solution of recurrent functional equations which appear in the analysis of such queueing systems are ...

introduction: studying long-term trend changes of meteorological parameters is one of the routine methods in atmospheric studies, especially in the climate change subject. among the meteorological parameters, temperature is always considered as one of the most atmospheric elements and studying it in order to gain a better understanding of the climate change phenomenon, has been effective. in ad...

This paper explores a natural decomposition property motivated by Shorrocks (1980, Econometrica 48, 613 625) and Anand (1983, ``Inequality and poverty in Malaysia,'' Oxford University Press) that we call path independent decomposability. Between-group inequality is found by applying the inequality measure to the smoothed distribution, which replaces each income in a subgroup with its representa...

We show that search frictions can be the source of increasing returns to scale (IRS) that brings people together in big cities. We develop a model of an economy with several regions, which differ in scale. Within each region, workers have to search for a job-type that matches their skill. They face a trade-off between match quality and the cost of extended search. This trade-off differs between...

In the context of global climate change, many studies have focused on interannual vegetation variation trends and their response to precipitation temperature, but ignored effects seasonal variability. This study explored relationship between normalized difference index (NDVI) elements in Wuliangsu Lake Basin area from 1990 2020, quantified impacts human activities dynamics. We used Landsat seri...
