The Resolvent and Expected Local Times for Markov-Modulated Brownian Motion with Phase-Dependent Termination Rates
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider a Markov-modulated Brownian motion (MMBM) with phase-dependent termination rates, i.e. while in a phase i the process terminates with a constant hazard rate ri ≥ 0. For such a process we determine the matrix of expected local times (at zero) before termination and hence the resolvent. The results are applied to some recent questions arising in the framework of insurance risk. We further provide expressions for the resolvent and the local times at zero of an MMBM reflected at its infimum.

A modified variable physical properties model, for analyzing nanofluids flow and heat transfer over nonlinearly stretching sheet
In this paper, the problem of laminar nanofluid flow which results from the nonlinear stretching of a flat sheet is investigated numerically. In this paper, a modified variable physical properties model for analyzing nanofluids flow and heat transfer is introduced. In this model, the effective viscosity, density, and thermal conductivity of the solid-liquid mixture (nanofluids) which are common...
متن کاملMarkov-modulated Brownian Motion with Two Reflecting Barriers
We consider a Markov-modulated Brownian motion reflected to stay in a strip [0, B]. The stationary distribution of this process is known to have a simple form under some assumptions. We provide a short probabilistic argument leading to this result and explain its simplicity. Moreover, this argument allows for generalizations including the distribution of the reflected process at an independent,...
متن کاملSteady-state Simulation of Reflected Brownian Motion and Related Stochastic Networks
This paper develops the first class of algorithms that enable unbiased estimation of steady-state expectations for multidimensional reflected Brownian motion. In order to explain our ideas, we first consider the case of compound Poisson (possibly Markov modulated) input. In this case, we analyze the complexity of our procedure as the dimension of the network increases and show that, under certa...
متن کاملOccupation Times for Markov-Modulated Brownian Motion
We determine the distributions of occupation times of a Markov-modulated Brownian motion (MMBM) in separate intervals before a first passage time or an exit from an interval. They will be derived in terms of their Laplace transforms, distinguishing occupation times in different phases too. For MMBMs with strictly positive variation parameters we further propose scale functions.

This article deals with the study of the two-dimensional mixed convection magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) boundary layer of stagnation-point flow over a stretching vertical plate in porous medium filled with a nanofluid. The model used for the nanofluid incorporates the effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis in the presence of thermal radiation. The skin-friction coefficient, Nusselt number an...
