New Mathematics Study Results Reported from Izmir University

  2012 JAN 31 - (VerticalNews.com) -- "This paper is concerned with the mean, minimum and maximum distances between two successive failures in a binary sequence consisting of Markov dependent elements," scientists in Izmir, Turkey report.

  "These random variables are potentially useful for the analysis of the frequency of critical events occurring in certain stochastic processes," wrote S. Eryilmaz and colleagues, Izmir University.

  The researchers concluded: "Exact distributions of these random variables are derived via combinatorial techniques and illustrative numerical results are presented."

  Eryilmaz and colleagues published their study in the Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics (On the mean and extreme distances between failures in Markovian binary sequences. Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics, 2011;236(6):1502-1510).
