    On computing the multivariate poisson probability distribution
    (Springer, 2023-06-20) Çekyay, Bora; Frenk, Johannes Bartholomeus Gerardus; Javadi, Sonya
    Within the theory of non-negative integer valued multivariate infinitely divisible distributions, the multivariate Poisson distribution plays a key role. As in the univariate case, any non-negative integer valued infinitely divisible multivariate distribution can be approximated by a multivariate distribution belonging to the compound Poisson family. The multivariate Poisson distribution is an important member of this family. In recent years, the multivariate Poisson distributions also has gained practical importance, since they serve as models to describe counting data having a positive covariance structure. However, due to the computational complexity of computing the multivariate Poisson probability mass function (pmf) and its corresponding cumulative distribution function (cdf), their use within these counting models is limited. Since most of the theoretical properties of the multivariate Poisson probability distribution seem already to be known, the main focus of this paper is on proposing more efficient algorithms to compute this pmf. Using a well known property of a Poisson multivariate distributed random vector, we propose in this paper a direct approach to calculate this pmf based on finding all solutions of a system of linear Diophantine equations. This new approach complements an already existing procedure depending on the use of recurrence relations existing for the pmf. We compare our new approach with this already existing approach applied to a slightly different set of recurrence relations which are easier to evaluate. A proof of this new set of recurrence relations is also given. As a result, several algorithms are proposed where some of them are based on the new approach and some use the recurrence relations. To test these algorithms, we provide an extensive analysis in the computational section. Based on the experiments in this section, we conclude that the approach finding all solutions of a set of linear Diophantine equations is computationally more efficient than the approach using the recurrence relations to evaluate the pmf of a multivariate Poisson distributed random vector.

    Semianalytical solution of unsteady quasi-one-dimensional cavitating nozzle flows
    (Springer, 2014-06) Delale, Can Fuat; Pasinlioğlu, Şenay; Başkaya, Zafer; Schnerr, Günter H.
    Unsteady quasi-one-dimensional bubbly cavitating nozzle flows are considered by employing a homogeneous bubbly liquid flow model, where the nonlinear dynamics of cavitating bubbles is described by a modified Rayleigh-Plesset equation. The model equations are uncoupled by scale separation leading to two evolution equations, one for the flow speed and the other for the bubble radius. The initial-boundary value problem of the evolution equations is then formulated and a semianalytical solution is constructed. The solution for the mixture pressure, the mixture density, and the void fraction are then explicitly related to the solution of the evolution equations. In particular, a relation independent of flow dimensionality is established between the mixture pressure, the void fraction, and the flow dilation for unsteady bubbly cavitating flows in the model considered. The steady-state compressible and incompressible limits of the solution are also discussed. The solution algorithm is first validated against the numerical solution of Preston et al. [Phys Fluids 14:300-311, 2002] for an essentially quasi-one-dimensional nozzle. Results obtained for a two-dimensional nozzle seem to be in good agreement with the mean pressure measurements at the nozzle wall for attached cavitation sheets despite the observed two-dimensional cavitation structures.
