Some open problems related to stability
نویسنده
چکیده
I will speak about a number of open problems in queueing. Some of them are known for decades, some are more recent. They relate to stability and to rare events. There is an idea to prepare a special issue of QUESTA on open problems, and this text may be considered as a prospective contribution to that. The choice of open problems reflects the speaker’s own interests, and should not be taken as suggesting that these are the only, or even most important, problems!

Investigation of Bishop’s and Janbu’s Models Capabilities on Slope Stability Problems with Special Consideration to Open-Pit Mining Operations
One of the most effective parameters in economics of open-pit mines is the pit slope angle, so that the slope angle more than the optimum value increases the probability of a large failure in the pit wall and the slope angle less than the optimum value leads to increasing stripping ratio and reducing net present value of mine. Therefore, in this paper, considering the limit equilibrium methods ...
متن کاملSome Open Problems in Chaos Theory and Dynamics
In this paper, some new open problems are proposed about the following topics: 2-D rational mappings, hyperbolic structure, structural stability, some questions about periodic, homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits and classification of chaos, and finally some questions about the notion of chaotification of dynamical systems. The presentation of each problem is easy with some relevant work related...
متن کاملEffects of geometrical and geomechanical properties on slope stability of open-pit mines using 2D and 3D finite difference methods
Slope stability analysis is one of the most important problems in mining and geotechnical engineering. Ignoring the importance of these problems can lead to significant losses. Selecting an appropriate method to analyze the slope stability requires a proper understanding of how different factors influence the outputs of the analyses. This paper evaluates the effects of considering the real geom...
متن کاملA Mixed Integer Programming Formulation for the Heterogeneous Fixed Fleet Open Vehicle Routing Problem
The heterogeneous fixed fleet open vehicle routing problem (HFFOVRP) is one of the most significant extension problems of the open vehicle routing problem (OVRP). The HFFOVRP is the problem of designing collection routes to a number of predefined nodes by a fixed fleet number of vehicles with various capacities and related costs. In this problem, the vehicle doesn’t return to the depot after se...
متن کاملSome recent global stability results for higher order difference equations ∗
We give a brief overview of some recent results for the global asymptotic stability of a difference equation xn+1 = f(n, xn, . . . , xn−k), n ≥ 0, assuming that the zero solution is the unique equilibrium. Different techniques are used, involving the use of new discrete inequalities, monotonicity arguments, and delay perturbation methods. For the particular case of linear autonomous difference ...
