Consider a system with K parallel single-servers, each with its own waiting room. Upon arrival, a job is to be routed to the queue of one of the servers. Finding routing policy that minimizes the total workload in the system is a known difficult problem in general. Even if the optimal policy is identified, the policy would require the full queue length information at the arrival of each job; fo...

In this paper we discuss a general approach to studying asymptotic properties of statistical estimators in stochastic programming. The approach is based on an extended delta method and appears to be particularly suitable for deriving asymptotics of the optimal value of stochastic programs. Asymptotic analysis of the optimal value will be presented in detail. Asymptotic properties of the corresp...

We introduce a new asymptotic one-sided and symmetric tensor norm, the latter of which can be considered as the minimal tensor norm on the category of separable C *-algebras with homotopy classes of asymptotic homomorphisms as morphisms. We show that the one-sided asymptotic tensor norm differs in general from both the minimal and the maximal tensor norms and discuss its relation to semi-invert...

Although homotopy-based methods, namely homotopy analysis method andhomotopy perturbation method, have largely been used to solve functionalequations, there are still serious questions on the convergence issue of thesemethods. Some authors have tried to prove convergence of these methods, butthe researchers in this article indicate that some of those discussions are faulty.Here, after criticizi...

In this paper, the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation is solved by using the Adomian’s decomposition method , modified Adomian’s decomposition method , variational iteration method , modified variational iteration method, homotopy perturbation method, modified homotopy perturbation method and homotopy analysis method. The existence and uniqueness of the solution and convergence of the proposed...

in this paper, we will compare a homotopy perturbation algorithm and taylor series expansin method for a system of second kind fredholm integral equations. an application of he’s homotopy perturbation method is applied to solve the system of fredholm integral equations. taylor series expansin method reduce the system of integral equations to a linear system of ordinary differential equation.
