Editor's note: As the following article is a chapter (Chapter 8) from David Koenig's book, Practical Control Engineering: Guide for Engineers, Managers, and Practitioners (MATLAB Examples) (McGraw ...

Stochastic processes provide a rigorous framework for modelling systems that evolve over time under uncertainty, while extremal theory offers the tools for understanding the behaviour of rare, ...

Affine processes provide a versatile framework for modelling complex financial phenomena, ranging from interest rate dynamics to credit risk and beyond. Their defining characteristic is the affine, or ...

Systematic study of Markov chains and some of the simpler Markov processes including renewal theory, limit theorems for Markov chains, branching processes, queuing theory, birth and death processes, ...

As global financial markets become increasingly interconnected, accurately modelling correlations between assets is essential. Traditional models often assume static correlations, which fail to ...

In this paper we shall consider mathematical models motivated by chemical process control problems in which we wish to control the process to hold some property of the output material as nearly ...

Simulation research derives new methods for the design, analysis, and optimization of simulation experiments. Research on stochastic models develops and analyzes models of systems with random behavior ...

The development of humans and other animals unfolds gradually over time, with cells taking on specific roles and functions via a process called cell fate determination. The fate of individual cells, ...

The Annals of Probability, Vol. 1, No. 4 (Aug., 1973), pp. 674-689 (16 pages) This paper shows that the epsilon entropy in the sup norm of a wide variety of processes with continuous paths on the unit ...

Students must have completed or currently enrolled in a course in the equivalency group containing MATH 310-2 or MATH 311-2. Prerequisite: Students must have completed or currently enrolled in a ...

Ars Technica has been separating the signal from the noise for over 25 years. With our unique combination of technical savvy and wide-ranging interest in the technological arts and sciences, Ars is ...
