Vinogradov (1973) used the Laplace transform to characterize the IFR class of life distributions and later Block and Savits (1980) extended the characterization to the main reliability classes. Here we use the same transform again to characterize the continuous time renewal equation and some properties of its solution.

Necessary And Sufficient

Recently s-FR and s-ST orderings have been defined in the literature. They are more general in the sense that most of the earlier known partial orderings reduce as particular cases of these orderings. Moreover, these orderings have helped in defining new and useful ageing criterion. In this paper, using Laplace transform, we characterize, by means of necessary and sufficient conditions. the property that two life distributions are ordered in the s-FR and s-ST sense. The characterization of LR, FR, MR, VR, STand HAMR orderings follow as particular cases.

We analyse in this paper the fluid weighted fair queueing system with two classes of customers, who arrive according to Poisson processes and require arbitrarily distributed service times. In a first step, we express the Laplace transform of the joint distribution of the workloads in the two virtual queues of the system by means of unknown Laplace transforms. Such an unknown Laplace transform is related to the distribution of the workload in one queue provided that the other queue is empty. We explicitly compute the unknown Laplace transforms by means of a Wiener—Hopf technique. The determination of the unknown Laplace transforms can be used to compute some performance measures characterizing the system (e.g. the mean waiting time for each class) which we compute in the exponential service case.

The Laplace Transform

In this paper, we study the joint Laplace transform of the sticky Brownian motion on an interval, its occupation time at zero and its integrated process. The perturbation approach of Li and Zhou [The joint Laplace transforms for diffusion occupation times, Adv. Appl. Probab. 45 (2013) 1049–1067] is adopted to convert the problem into the computation of three Laplace transforms, which is essentially equivalent to solving the associated differential equations with boundary conditions. We obtain the explicit expression for the joint Laplace transform in terms of the modified Bessel function and Airy functions.

Methods for finding solutions of the state equations of descriptor fractional discrete-time and continuous-time linear systems with regular pencils are proposed. The derivation of the solution formulas is based on the application of the Z transform, the Laplace transform and the convolution theorems. Procedures for computation of the transition matrices are proposed. The efficiency of the proposed methods is demonstrated on simple numerical examples.

Theory Framework

The transfer operator associated to a flow (continuous time dynamical system) is a one-parameter operator semigroup. We consider the operator-valued Laplace transform of this one-parameter semigroup. Estimates on the Laplace transform have been used in various settings in order to show the rate at which the flow mixes. Here we consider the case of exponential mixing and the case of rapid mixing (superpolynomial). We develop the operator theory framework amenable to this setting and show that the same estimates may be used to produce results, in terms of the operators, which go beyond the results for the rate of mixing.
