Extracting state-based performance metrics using asynchronous iterative techniques
Solution of large sparse linear fixed-point problems lies at the heart of many important performance analysis calculations. These calculations include steady-state, transient and...

On Monte Carlo methods for Bayesian multivariate regression models with heavy-tailed errors
We consider Bayesian analysis of data from multivariate linear regression models whose errors have a distribution that is a scale mixture of normals. Such models are used to analy...

Maximal solution to algebraic Riccati equations linked to infinite Markov jump linear systems
In this paper we deal with a perturbed algebraic Riccati equation in an infinite dimensional Banach space. Besides the interest in its own right, this class of equations appears, ...
