Generating Random Variables and Stochastic Processes

چکیده
Some History • Earliest methods were manual – throwing dice, dealing cards, drawing balls from an urn • Mechanized devices in early 1900’s • Later, methods based on electric circuits • Many other schemes based on phone books, π etc. • Advent of computing led to interest in numerical and arithmetic methods – such methods generate numbers sequentially and are easily programmed – the most commonly used methods today

Energy Scheduling in Power Market under Stochastic Dependence Structure
Since the emergence of power market, the target of power generating utilities has mainly switched from cost minimization to revenue maximization. They dispatch their power energy generation units in the uncertain environment of power market. As a result, multi-stage stochastic programming has been applied widely by many power generating agents as a suitable tool for dealing with self-scheduling...
متن کاملBranching Processes and Non-Commuting Random Variables in Population Biology
Branching processes are a well-established tool in mathematical biology used to study the dynamics of rarefied populations where agents act independently and small stochastic density-independent changes in population sizes. However, they are often avoided by non-mathematicians because of their reliance on generating functions. Generating functions are powerful computational aids but are often d...

Ordinary differential equations(ODEs) with stochastic processes in their vector field, have lots of applications in science and engineering. The main purpose of this article is to investigate the numerical methods for ODEs with Wiener and Compound Poisson processes in more than one dimension. Ordinary differential equations with Ito diffusion which is a solution of an Ito stochastic differentia...
متن کاملDesigning Stochastic Cell Formation Problem Using Queuing Theory
This paper presents a new nonlinear mathematical model to solve a cell formation problem which assumes that processing time and inter-arrival time of parts are random variables. In this research, cells are defined as a queue system which will be optimized via queuing theory. In this queue system, each machine is assumed as a server and each part as a customer. The grouping of machines and parts...
متن کاملGenerating Realisations of Stationary Gaussian Random Fields by Circulant Embedding
Random fields are families of random variables, indexed by a d-dimensional parameter x with d > 1. They are important in many applications and are used, for example, to model properties of biological tissue, velocity fields in turbulent flows and permeability coefficients of rocks. Mark 24 of the NAG Fortran library includes new routines for generating realisations of stationary Gaussian random...
