II.—Eccentricity and Glacial Epochs

Local Limit Theorems for Ladder Epochs

Let S0 = 0, {Sn}n≥1 be a random walk generated by a sequence of i.i.d. random variables X1,X2, ... and let τ− := min {n ≥ 1 : Sn ≤ 0} and τ := min {n ≥ 1 : Sn > 0}. Assuming that the distribution of X1 belongs to the domain of attraction of an α-stable law, α 6= 1, we study the asymptotic behavior of P(τ± = n) as n → ∞.

Articles The Multiverse Conjecture: Whitehead’s Cosmic Epochs and Contemporary Cosmology

Recent developments in cosmology and particle physics have led to speculation that our universe is merely one of a multitude of universes. While this notion, the multiverse hypothesis, is highly contested as legitimate science, it has nonetheless struck many physicists as a necessary consequence of the effort to construct a final, unified theory. In Process and Reality (1929), his magnum opus, ...

Approximating the buffer allocation problem using epochs

The correctness of applications that perform asynchronous message passing typically relies on the underlying hardware having a sufficient amount of memory (message buffers) to hold all undelivered messages—such applications may deadlock when executed on a system with an insufficient number of message buffers. Thus, determining the minimum number of buffers that an application needs to prevent d...
