In the context of public transportation system, improving the service quality and robustness through minimizing the average passengers waiting time is a real challenge. This study provides robust stochastic programming models for train timetabling problem in urban rail transit systems. The objective is minimization of the weighted summation of the expected cost of passenger waiting time, its va...

The paper discusses ensemble behaviour in the Spiking Neuron Stochastic Diffusion Network, SNSDN, a novel network exploring biologically plausible information processing based on higher order temporal coding. SNSDN was proposed as an alternative solution to the binding problem [1]. SNSDN operation resembles Stochastic Diffusion Search, SDS, a nondeterministic search algorithm able to rapidly lo...

The increment integration of renewable distributed energies means the desired operation of the electric power system will significantly depend on the performance of primary energy. In this order, an integrated approach for mutual interaction between the electricity and natural gas systems has been considered for the purpose of ensuring optimal energy exchanging between the electric power system...

In this work, the power oscillations during continuous operation of a whole wind farm and a single turbine are characterized for timescales in the range of minutes to fractions of seconds. A stochastic model is derived in time and frequency domains to link the overall behavior of a large number of wind turbines from the operation of a single turbine. A literature review on experimental data of ...

Many authors have analyzed queueing systems with server breakdowns. Kendall (1953) studied stochastic processes occurring in the theory of queues and their analysis by the method of imbedded Markov chains. Buzacott and Hanifin (1978) classified the machine failures as operation dependent failures and time dependent failures. Shanthikumar (1982) analyzed a M/G/1 queueing system with time and ope...

The emergence of corona virus (COVID-19) has create a great public concern as the outbreak is still ongoing and government are taking actions such as holiday extension, travel restriction, temporary closure of public work place, borders, schools, quarantine/isolation, social distancing and so on. To mitigate the spread, we proposed and analyzed a stochastic model for the continue spread of coro...
