Convergence of stochastic processes with jumps to diffusion processes is investigated in the case when the limit process has discontinuous coefficients. An example is given in which the diffusion approximation of a queueing model yields a diffusion process with discontinuous diffusion and drift coefficients.

Convergence of stochastic processes with jumps to di!usion processes is investigated in the case when the limit process has discontinuous coe$cients. An example is given in which the diffusion approximation of a queueing model yields a di!usion process with discontinuous di!usion and drift coe$cients. c © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

in the present paper the linear oscillator in r3 with z =constanthas been considered. the aim is to determine the necessary conditions forthe persistence of periodic solutions under discontinuous perturbations. a newapproach based on a computational method has been used. at the end weapply our method on an example.

How a complex network is connected crucially impacts its dynamics and function. Percolation, the transition to extensive connectedness on gradual addition of links, was long believed to be continuous, but recent numerical evidence of ‘explosive percolation’ suggests that it might also be discontinuous if links compete for addition. Here we analyse the microscopic mechanisms underlying discontin...

One of the most important issues for Muslim philosophers is the continuous imaginal world and its relationship with the discontinuous imaginative faculty. The continuous imaginal world is a perceptive faculty of the soul known as the faculty of imagination. The discontinuous imaginative faculty is the order of the universe called the imaginal world, which Muslim philosophers have portrayed in a...
