Stochastic processes defined by a general Langevin equation of motion where the noise is the nonGaussian dichotomous Markov noise are studied. A non-Fokker-Planck master differential equation is deduced for the probability density of these processes. Two different models are exactly solved. In the second one, a nonequilibrium bimodal distribution induced by the noise is observed for a critical ...

To evaluate the dependability properties of mission-critical systems like reliability, safety, availability, maintainability etc. a Markov chain models can be used. However the dependability prediction using these models is focused only on the stuck-at faults even though the system is exposed to the influence of transient faults produced by the operational environment. It is the aim of this pap...

Abstract This work aims to study a project scheduling method based Critical Chain Method (CCM), which is a burgeoning project scheduling technology based on the Theory of Constraints (TOC). We formulate the model of the critical chain project scheduling problem, in which a simplified scheme of critical chain project scheduling is used to generate the critical chain project plan. And then, a gen...
