Space-Time and Probability
نویسنده
چکیده
Special relativity is most naturally formulated as a theory of spacetime geometry, but within the spacetime framework probability appears to be a purely epistemic notion. It is possible that progress can be made with rather di¤erent approaches covariant stochastic equations, in particular but the results to date are not encouraging. However, it seems a non-epistemic notion of probability can be made out in Minkowski space on Everetts terms. I shall work throughout with the consistent histories formalism. I shall start with a conservative interpretation, and then go on to Everetts.

Fractional Probability Measure and Its Properties
Based on recent studies by Guy Jumarie [1] which defines probability density of fractional order and fractional moments by using fractional calculus (fractional derivatives and fractional integration), this study expands the concept of probability density of fractional order by defining the fractional probability measure, which leads to a fractional probability theory parallel to the classical ...
متن کاملA Probability Space based on Interval Random Variables
This paper considers an extension of probability space based on interval random variables. In this approach, first, a notion of interval random variable is introduced. Then, based on a family of continuous distribution functions with interval parameters, a concept of probability space of an interval random variable is proposed. Then, the mean and variance of an interval random variable are intr...
متن کاملBi-product inventory planning in a three-echelon supply chain with backordering, Poisson demand, and limited warehouse space
In this paper, we apply continuous review (S-1, S) policy for inventory control in a three-echelon supply chain (SC) including r identical retailers, a central warehouse with limited storage space, and two independent manufacturing plants which offer two kinds of product to the customer. The warehouse of the model follows (M/M/1) queue model where customer demands follow a Poisson probabilit...
متن کاملروش وزنی تصادفی شبیهسازی مونتکارلو برای تحلیل قابلیت اطمینان سازهها
The computational burdens and more accurate approximations for the estimation of the failure probability are the main concerns in the structural reliability analyses. The Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) method can simply provide an accurate estimation for the failure probability, but it is a time-consuming method for complex reliability engineering problems with a low failure probability and may e...
متن کاملConnecting Yule Process, Bisection and Binary Search Tree via Martingales
We present new links between some remarkable martingales found in the study of the Binary Search Tree or of the bisection problem, looking at them on the probability space of a continuous time binary branching process.
متن کاملa Comparison Study Between the Joint Probability Approach and Time Series Rainfall Modelling in Coastal Detention Pond Analysis (RESEARCH NOTE)
In tidally affected coastal catchments detention pond should be provided to store flood surface water. A comparison between the full simulation approach based on the joint probability method and time series rainfall modeling via the annual maximum of pond level was undertaken to investigate the assumptions of independence between variables that are necessary in the joint probability method. The...
