Mathematical Sciences: First International Workshop on the Numerical Solution of Markov Chains, Raleigh, North CarolinaJanuary 8-10, 1990

该项目将支持将于1990年1月8日至10日在北卡罗来纳州立大学举行的关于马尔可夫链数值解的第一次国际研讨会。研讨会将由威廉·斯图尔特教授组织。讲习班的目的是将应用概率学家、数值分析员和系统建模师(包括计算机科学家和计算机工程师)聚集在一起，以便改善三个小组之间的沟通，最大限度地减少不必要的重复工作，确定长期研究目标，向一个领域的研究人员通报其他领域正在进行的工作，并交流最近的研究成果。主题包括应用、矩阵生成技术、随机Petri网、平稳概率向量的计算、灵敏度分析、暂态解的计算、近似、马尔可夫报酬模型、无限马尔可夫链和并行实现。演讲者将包括P.J.Courtois、N.M.Van Dijk、G.H.Golub、W.K.Grassmann、G.Latouche、D.Mitra、M.F.Neuts、Y.Saad、P.Schweitzer、E.Seneta、G.W.Stewart、Y.Takahashi和K.Trivedi。

This project will support the First International Workshop on the Numerical Solution of Markov Chains to be held January 8 - 10, 1990 at North Carolina State University. The workshop will be organized by Professor William Stewart. The purpose of the workshop is to bring together applied probabilists, numerical analysts, and system modelers (including computer scientists and computer engineers) in order to improve communication among the three groups, to minimize unnecessary duplication of effort, to identify long-term research objectives, to inform researchers in one area about the work in progress in other areas, and to exchange recent research results. Topics will include applications, matrix generation techniques, stochastic Petri nets, computation of stationary probability vectors, sensitivity analysis, computation of transient solutions, approximations, Markov reward models, infinite Markov chains, and parallel implementations. Speakers will include P. J. Courtois, N. M. Van Dijk, G. H. Golub, W. K. Grassmann, G. Latouche, D. Mitra, M. F. Neuts, Y. Saad, P. Schweitzer, E. Seneta, G. W. Stewart, Y. Takahashi, and K. Trivedi.
