چکیده

where the numerator and denominator are coprime polynomials. Here, the coefficients are real, and the zeros of the denominator polynomial are a subset of the eigenvalues of T . The point mass at zero is α0 = 1−αe. We define the algebraic degree of the PH distribution to be the degree of the denominator polynomial, q, see O’Cinneide [9]. Typically, representations for PH distributions are not unique, and we say that any representation for a PH distribution of minimal order is a minimal representation. The order of the PH distribution itself, is defined to be the order of any of its minimal representations. The order of a PH distribution is greater than or equal to its algebraic degree, see O’Cinneide [9]. O’Cinneide [11] showed that any PH distribution whose generator T has only real eigenvalues, has an equivalent Coxian representation of some order. This order is called

Coxian Approximations of Matrix-Exponential Distributions

In this paper, we study the approximation of matrix-exponential distributions by Coxian distributions. Based on the spectral polynomial algorithm, we develop an algorithm for computing Coxian representations of Coxian distributions that are approximations of matrix-exponential distributions. As a specialization, we show that phase-type (PH) distributions can be approximated by Coxian distributi...

Characterization of projective special linear groups in dimension three by their orders and degree patterns

The prime graph $Gamma(G)$ of a group $G$ is a graph with vertex set $pi(G)$, the set of primes dividing the order of $G$, and two distinct vertices $p$ and $q$ are adjacent by an edge written $psim q$ if there is an element in $G$ of order $pq$. Let $pi(G)={p_{1},p_{2},...,p_{k}}$. For $pinpi(G)$, set $deg(p):=|{q inpi(G)| psim q}|$, which is called the degree of $p$. We also set $D(G):...

Bayesian prediction of the transient behaviour and busy period in short- and long-tailed GI/G/1 queueing systems

In this paper, we describe how to carry out Bayesian inference for the transient behaviour and busy period in a single server queueing system with general and unknown distributions for the interarrival and service times. Both interarrival and service time distributions are approximated using the dense family of Coxian distributions. A suitable reparameterization enables us to define a non-infor...

ALGEBRAIC INDEPENENCE OF CERTAIN FORMAL POWER SERIES (II)

We shall extend the results of [5] and prove that if f = Z o a x ? Z [[X]] is algebraic over Q (x), where a = 1, ƒ 1 and if ? , ? ,..., ? are p-adic integers, then 1 ? , ? ,..., ? are linkarly independent over Q if and only if (1+x) ,(1+x) ,…,(1+x) are algebraically independent over Q (x) if and only if f , f ,.., f are algebraically independent over Q (x)
