We establish central and local limit theorems for the number of vertices in the largest component of a random d-uniform hypergraph Hd(n, p) with edge probability p = c/ n−1 d−1...
-- We estimate the availability, reliability, and mean transaction time (response time) for repairable database configurations, centralized or distributed, in which each service co...
