This paper deals with a stochastic SIR (Susceptible{\textendash}Infected{\textendash}Recovered) model with Erlang(k,μ) distributed infectious period commonly referred as SIkR model. We show that using the total number of remaining Erlang stages as the state variable, we do not need to keep track of the stages of individual infections, and can employ a first step analysis to efficiently obtain quantities of interest. We study the distribution of the total number of recovered individuals and the distribution of the maximum number of individuals who are simultaneously infected until the end of the disease. In the literature, final outbreak size is calculated only for a small population size exactly and derivations of approximate analytic solutions from asymptotic results are suggested for larger population sizes. We numerically demonstrate that our methods are implementable on large size problem instances.

The independence gap of a graph was introduced by Ekim et al.\ in 2018 as a measure of how far a graph is from being well-covered. It is defined as the difference between the maximum and minimum size of a maximal independent set. We investigate the independence gap of a graph from structural and algorithmic points of view, with a focus on classes of perfect graphs. Generalizing results on well-covered graphs due to Dean and Zito (1994) and Hujdurovi{\'c} et al.\ (2018), we express the independence gap of a perfect graph in terms of clique partitions and use this characterization to develop a polynomial-time algorithm for recognizing graphs of constant independence gap in any class of perfect graphs of bounded clique number. Next, we introduce a hereditary variant of the parameter, which we call hereditary independence gap and which measures the maximum independence gap over all induced subgraphs of the graph. We show that determining whether a given graph has hereditary independence gap at most k is polynomial-time solvable if k is fixed and co-NP-complete if k is part of input. We also investigate the complexity of the independent set and independent domination problems in graph classes related to independence gap. In particular, we show that the two problems are NP-complete in the class of graphs of independence gap at most one and that the weighted independent set problem is polynomial-time solvable in any class of graphs with bounded hereditary independence gap. Combined with some known results on claw-free graphs, our results imply that the independent domination problem is solvable in polynomial time in the class of {claw, 2P3}-free graphs.

The rapid adoption of service-oriented architecture (SOA) in many large-scale distributed applications requires the development of adaptive service-based software systems (ASBS) with the capability of monitoring the changing system status, analyzing, and controlling tradeoffs among various quality-of-service (QoS) aspects, and adapting service configurations to satisfy multiple QoS requirements simultaneously. In this paper, our results toward the development of adaptive service-based software systems are presented. The formulation of activity-state-QoS (ASQ) models and how to use the data from controlled experiments to establish ASQ models for capturing the cause-effect dynamics among service activities, system resource states, and QoS in service-based systems are presented. Then, QoS monitoring modules based on ASQ models and SOA-compliant simulation models are developed to support the validation of the ASBS design. The main idea for developing QoS adaptation modules based on ASQ models is discussed. An experiment based on a voice communication service is used to illustrate our results.

Generating a single order statistic without generating the full sample can be an important task for simulations. If the density and the CDF of the distribution are given, then it is no problem to compute the density of the order statistic. In the main theorem it is shown that the concavity properties of that density depend directly on the distribution itself. Especially for log-concave distributions, all order statistics have log-concave distributions themselves. So recently suggested automatic transformed density rejection algorithms can be used to generate single order statistics. This idea leads to very fast generators. For example for the normal and gamma distributions, the suggested new algorithms are between 10 and 60 times faster than the algorithms suggested in the literature.

Different automatic (also called universal or black-box) methods have been suggested to sample from univariate log-concave distributions. Our new automatic algorithm for bivariate log-concave distributions is based on the method of transformed density rejection. In order to construct a hat function for a rejection algorithm the bivariate density is transformed by the logarithm into a concave function. Then it is possible to construct a dominating function by taking the minimum of several tangent planes, which are by exponentiation transformed back into the original scale. The choice of the points of contact is automated using adaptive rejection sampling. This means that points that are rejected by the rejection algorithm can be used as additional points of contact. The paper describes the details how this main idea can be used to construct Algorithm ALC2D that can generate random pairs from all bivariate log-concave distributions with known domain, computable density and computable partial derivatives.

Up to now, all known efficient portable implementations of linear congruential random number generators with modulus $2^{31} - 1$ have worked only with multipliers that are small compared with the modulus. We show that for nonuniform distributions, the rejection method may generate random numbers of bad qualify if combined with a linear congruential generator with small multiplier. A method is described that works for any multiplier smaller than $2^{30}$. It uses the decomposition of multiplier and seed in high-order and low-order bits to compute the upper and lower half of the product. The sum of the two halves gives the product of multiplier and seed modulo $2^{21} - 1$. Coded in ANSI-C and FORTRAN77 the method results in a portable implementation of the linear congruential generator that is as fast or faster than other portable methods.
