R-automata are finite state machines extended with counters which can be incremented or reset to zero along the transitions. The universality question asks whether there is a cons...
In this paper we consider nonhomogeneous birth and death processes (BDP) with periodic rates. Two important parameters are studied, which are helpful to describe a nonhomogeneous B...
