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 → ∞.

Late Prehistoric Southwest

examining the role of glaze \vare pottery in the social lives of the late precontact and early contact Pueblos. By tracing the circulation of spe­ cialized knowledge, raw materials, and the glaze-painted pots themselves, through interactive networks ofvarying sizes and scales, these researchers reveal how glaze ware production, distribution, and use articulated with a variety of dynamic histori...

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...
