Through the network construction, where the initial state is transformed from a triangle to a polygon, we obtain the exact scaling for the MFPT. We show that the MFPT grows linearly with the number of nodes and the dimensions of the polygon in the large limit of the network order. In addition, we determine the exponents of scaling efficiency characterizing the random walks. Our results are the generalizations of those derived for the Koch network, which shed light on the analysis of random walks over various fractal networks.展开更多

CMTT here was defined as the convex combination of the conditional expectations of PTT-below and PTT-excess travel times. The former was designed as a risk-optimistic travel time index, and the latter was a risk-pessimistic one. Hence, CMTT was able to describe various routing risk-attitudes. The central idea of CMTT was comprehensively illustrated and the difference among the existing travel time indices was analyzed. The Wardropian combined mean traffic equilibrium(CMTE) model was formulated as a variational inequality and solved via an alternating direction algorithm nesting extra-gradient projection process. Some mathematical properties of CMTT and CMTE model were rigorously proved. Finally, a numerical example was performed to characterize the CMTE network. It is founded that that risk-pessimism is of more benefit to a modest(or low) congestion and risk network, however, it changes to be risk-optimism for a high congestion and risk network.展开更多

Similar to wave equation and dispersive wave equation, the space time means for linear parabolic equation are shown and a series of nonlinear estimates for some nonlinear functions are obtained by space time means. By Banach fixed point principle and usual iterative technique a local mild solution of Cauchy problem or IBV problem is constructed for a class of nonlinear parabolic equations in CB([0,T); L p) or L q(0,T; L p) with φ(x)∈L r. In critical nonlinear case it is also proved that T can be taken as infinity provided that ‖φ(x)‖ r is sufficiently small, where (p,q,r) is an admissible triple.展开更多

The expression of MFPT has been obtained by applying the steepest-descent approximation. Numerical results show that （1） the intensity of multiplicative noise p and the intensity of additive noise q play different roles in the MFPT of the system, （2） suppression appears on the curve of the MFPT with small λ （e.g. λ 〈 0.5） but there is a peak on the curve of the MFPT when λ is big （e.g. λ 〉 0.5）, and （3） with different values of r （e.g. r = 0.1, 0.5, 1.5）, the effort of τ on the MFPT is diverse.展开更多

The exact analytical expressions of the stationary probability distribution (SPD) and the moments of the system are derived. Furthermore, the mean first-passage time is calculated by the use of two approximate methods, respectively. It is found that (i) the double peaks of SPD are rubbed-down into a flat single peak with the increasing of noise intensity; (ii) a minimum occurs on the curve of the second-order moment of the system vs. noise intensity at the point ; (iii) the results obtained by our approximate approach are in good agreement with the numerical calculations for either small or large correlation time , while the conventional steepest descent approximation leads to poor results.展开更多

The station serves these two classes with mixed service discipline, one class with exhaustive service discipline, and the other with gated service discipline. Using iterative method, we have developed an approximation method to obtain the mean waiting time for each message class. The performance of approximation has been compared with the simulation results. The expression for the upper bound of waiting time is given too.展开更多

Firstly, the non-Markov process is reduced to the Markov process through a path-integral approach; Secondly, the approximate Fokker-Planck equation is obtained by applying the unified coloured noise approximation, the small time delay approximation and the Novikov Theorem. The functional analysis and simplification are employed to obtain the approximate expressions of MFPT. The effects of non-Gaussian parameter （measures deviation from Gaussian character） r, the delay time τ, the noise correlation time to, the intensities D and a of noise on the MFPT are discussed. It is found that the escape time could be reduced by increasing the delay time τ, the noise correlation time τ0, or by reducing the intensities D and α. As far as we know, this is the first time to consider the effect of delay time on the mean first-passage time in the stochastic dynamical system.展开更多

Firstly, the non-Markov process is reduced to the Markov process through a path-integral approach; Secondly, the approximate Fokker Planck equation is obtained by applying the unified colored noise approximation and the.Novikov Theorem. The steady-state probability distribution （SPD） is also obtained. The basal functional analysis and simplification are employed to obtain the approximate expressions of MFPT T^±. The effects of the asymmetry parameter β, the non-Gaussian parameter （measures deviation from Gaussian character） r, the noise correlation times τ and τ2, the coupling coefficient A, the intensities D and a of noise on the MFPT are discussed. It is found that the asymmetry parameter β, the non-Gaussian parameter r and the coupling coefficient A can induce phase transition. Moreover, the main findings are that the effect of self-existent parameters （D, α, and τ） of noise and cross-correlation parameters （A, 7-2） between noises on MFPT T^± is different.展开更多

The explicit expressions of the mean first-passage time （MFPT） of the transition from the high intracavity intensity state to the low one are obtained by numerical computations. The impacts of the intensities of the multiplicative noise DM and the additive noise DA, the intensity of correlation between two noises λ, and the intensity of the incident light y on the MFPT are discussed, respectively. Our results show： （i） for the case of no correlation between two noises （2, = 0.0）, the increase in DM and DA can lead to an increase in the probability of the transition to the low intracavity intensity state, while the increase in y can lead to a retardation of the transition; and （ii） for the case of correlation between two noises （λ≠ 0.0）, the increase in λ can cause an increase in the probability of the transition, and the increase in DA can cause a retardation of the transition firstly and then an increase in the probability of the transition, i.e., the noise-enhanced stability is observed for the case of correlation between two noises.展开更多

These models have been widely applied to various problem domains, especially in dealing with forecasting problems in which historical data are linguistic values. In this paper, we present a new fuzzy time series forecasting model, which uses the historical data as the universe of discourse and uses the K-means clustering algorithm to cluster the universe of discourse, then adjust the clusters into intervals. The proposed method is applied for forecasting University enrollment of Alabama. It is shown that the proposed model achieves a significant improvement in forecasting accuracy as compared to other fuzzy time series forecasting models.展开更多
