The cost analysis of one and two-dimensional free replacement policies involve renewal functions. This paper deals with the simulation approach to obtaining such renewal functions.

The response of coastal sand bodies to sea level rise can be modelled using computer simulation of large scale coastal behaviour based only on principles of sand-mass conservation and geometric rules for shoreface and barrier morphology. The model simulates horizontal and vertical translation of...

The SORKAM model was tested against experimental data, for its suitability to examine the consequences of alternative plant density and row spacing for rainfed grain sorghum in the United States. Simulations were conducted for 2 crop maturities (early and late) and 2 upper limits of plant...

This tutorial gives a survey of strategic issues in the statistical design and analysis of experiments with deterministic and random simulation models. These issues concern validation, what-if analysis, optimization, and so on. The analysis uses regression models and least-squares algorithms....

In this paper a planar combustion wave propagating in a gaseous mixture is simulated. The two-dimensional compressible Navier–Stokes equations for a reacting mixture of two species, burnt and unburnt gas, are considered. The unburnt gas is assumed to be converted into burnt gas by a one-step...

In this paper we consider the use of maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) in the situation where the data come from a “smooth” dynamical system which is approximated by an Itô equation. It is well known that in such situation correction terms may appear already in the equation....

The Harvard ocean baroclinic quasigeostrophic model is further extended to enable the treatment of multiply connected domains with arbitrary coastal boundary geometry. A set of sufficient quasigeostrophic boundary conditions at physical boundaries are determined by requiring consistency with a...

In 1968 the CSSL-standard for simulation languages was introduced determining the structure of simulation languages, too. In the following years Zeigler proposed new structures which became a quasi-standardization. In this contribution an extension of these structures is introduced: the concept...

Effective recursive updating of the solution set of linear inequalities has recently gained importance in the area of parameter bounding for system identification, prediction and control. When it is not empty, this solution set is a convex polyhedron, usually a convex polytope in the context of...
