Hi, just curious as to what you felt needed updating on this article. Please post your feelings to the [[Talk:Royal Mail|Royal Mail talk page]] so that other users can update the article where you feel it is out of date.

==Notability of [[:Benjamin Polak]]==
[[Image:Ambox warning pn.svg|left|48px|]]<!-- use [[Image:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|48px|]] for YELLOW flag --> A tag has been placed on [[:Benjamin Polak]] requesting that it be [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedily deleted]] from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:Notability|see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable]]. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the [[WP:Your first article|guide to writing your first article]].

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to the top of the article ('''just below''' the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on '''[[Talk:Benjamin Polak|the article's talk page]]''' explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria [[Wikipedia:Notability (people)|for biographies]], [[WP:WEB|for web sites]], [[WP:BAND|for bands]], or [[WP:CORP|for companies]].

== Context ==

:: '''Lumpability''' is a method for reducing the size of the state space of some continuous-time Markov chains.
: 
The sentence above is not a proper way to start a Wikipedia article.  Is it about literary theory, chemistry, ethics, biology, history of Roman jurisprudence, etc?  The lay reader finishes reading the sentence without finding out.  I changed it to say
: 
:: In [[probability theory]], '''lumpability''' is a method for reducing the size of the state space of some continuous-time Markov chains.
: 
[[User:Michael Hardy|Michael Hardy]] ([[User talk:Michael Hardy|talk]]) 04:39, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

== More context ==

I don't think the phrase "In queuing theory..." succeeds in telling the lay reader that mathematics is what the article is about.  The educated lay person may well never have heard of queuing theory.  (See my recent edits to [[Gordon–Newell theorem]]).

== Grassmann's algorithm ==

Dear Gareth, I was intrigued by your addition to [[Gaussian elimination]] as I don't recall having heard of Grassmann's algorithm. I had a quick look via Google at the book you're referring to and I'm wondering, is Grassman's algorithm only meant for computing stationary states of a Markov chains (i.e., for solving &pi; = ''Q''&pi; where ''Q'' is the transition matrix) or can it be applied more widely?

== Michael Atiyah ==

You have selectively added doctoral students to the info box for this article for a second time. If you read the accompanying text, you will see that [[Nigel Hitchin]]
and [[Graeme Segal]] were also students of Atiyah, but you have for some reason chosen to disregard them. If you are familiar with British mathematics, you would appreciate that they were two of Atiyah's most 
significant and influential students. I personally know many of the people mentioned in the article. I would say that their merit cannot be based on whether they have a wikipedia article or not. Why is David Tall a more significant Warwick mathematician than John D.S. Jones or David Elworthy? Or Lisa Jeffries less distinguished than Ruth Lawrence? It is unreasonable to make this kind of selection, since there are no reasonable criteria (having a wikipedia article is not a reason!) That is why, in order not to offend living mathematicians  or Atiyah himself, I suggest you leave Ph.D. students out of the info box. The article itself discusses his students in a very balanced and fair way.Thanks, [[User:Mathsci|Mathsci]] ([[User talk:Mathsci|talk]]) 01:01, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

== mathematical notation ==

Hello.  In [[M/G/1 queue]], I changed the first of the following to the second:
: ''i''-1
: ''i''&nbsp;&minus;&nbsp;1
The first uses a hyphen instead of a minus sign and lacks spaces before and after it.  The second is standard and prescribed by [[WP:MOSMATH]].  If it appears on your browser as on mine, the advantage of legibility should be apparent.  (I made the spaces non-breakable.  Similarly, I changed ''i''+1 to ''i''&nbsp;+&nbsp;1.)

:: Thanks, you're right, it does make it much easier to read. [[User:Gareth Jones|Gareth Jones]] ([[User talk:Gareth Jones#top|talk]]) 11:25, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Another TeX issue: \text{max} does not always give the same results as \max.  For example
: <math> \text{max}_{x\in A} \, </math>
: <math> \max_{x\in A} \, </math>
The first of these uses \text{max}_{x\in A} and the second uses \max_{x\in A}.  The position of the subscript is different and on some browsers, or with uses using mathJax, the font may look different.  In TeX and LaTeX generally, when you use \max, then the subscript appears directly below the word "max" when it's in a "displayed" setting, and below and to the right when it's in an "inline" setting (unless manually overridden by \displaystyle).

==Binomial Options Pricing Model==

Hi Gareth - what precisely was your motivation behind moving the BRR reference to notes ? It should remain in the reference section as it was the first paper on this topic.

::Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for [[WP:BOLD|being bold]]. However, I don't feel citing references inline with wikilinks and linking to doi/online versions of the referenced material in references is controversial.

== Halfin-Whitt regime ==
Could you please look over my draft. If you agree with me that it is important maybe you can create
a new stub which conforms with wiki's standards. (Shuroo)
---- Halfin-Whitt regime

For any service system in general, the seminal result by Shlomo Halfin and Ward Whitt about the asymptotic behavior of heavy traffic queues with many exponential servers had a large impact on Queueing Theory. They obtained their result in an unconventional way achieving high utilization by simultaneously increasing the customer arrival rate and the number of servers. In the Halfin-Whitt regime it is assumed that the traffic intensity of the system remains close to 1 while the number of servers grows without bound. Halfin and Whitt showed in their pioneering effort that in the regime described above, the properly centered and scaled queue length process will converge to a limiting diffusion.

::Thanks for getting in touch. If I understand correctly, the Halfin-Whitt regime is a particular type of heavy-traffic regime whereby under certain limiting assumptions a discrete queueing network behaves like a deterministic/differential equation type system or like a diffusion [http://www.jstor.org/stable/170115]. While this seems like a particularly notable result in the area of such limiting results, as far as I am aware Wikipedia currently contains no articles on heavy-traffic limits/diffusion approximations to queueing systems. Perhaps this information would find itself best placed in a future article on that topic.

== \text{Exp} ==

In [[Wald's marti. ale]], when you wrote \text{Exp}, did you mean something different from \exp?  Here are how \text{Exp}, \operatorname{Exp}, and \exp get rendered:
: <math> a \text{Exp} b \, </math>
: <math> a \operatorname{Exp} b \, </math>
: <math> a \exp b \, </math>
The first two look different from each other on the browser I'm using, but I think that's probably browser-dependent and may also depend on how user preferences are set.  I included the ''a'' and ''b'' to illustrate spacing.  The first one lacks spacing between ''a'' and Exp and between Exp and ''b''; the third one has proper spacing.  The third one is standard if you mean the natural exponential function. [[User:Michael Hardy|Michael Hardy]] ([[User talk:Michael Hardy|talk]]) 19:06, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

== Kemeny's constant ==

In your first paragraph you wrote
: Kemeny’s constant is the mean number of time steps required for a Markov chain to transition from an unknown starting state to an unknown destination state, where both of these unknown states are independently sampled from the stationary distribution.
: 
(except that I added the word "independently").  Then you say it's "constant".  "Constant" always means not depending on something, and for a moment I thought it meant not depending on which Markov chain.  That would certainly be surprising.  But then in the next section, you've got the state ''j'' being sampled from the stationary distribution while ''i'' is fixed.  In that context, it does make sense to say that that time is "constant" in the sense of not depending on&nbsp;''i''.  But in the first paragraph, it looks as if the random choice of ''i'' from the stationary distribution is one of the things getting averaged out---you'd just be adding over all possible values of ''i''---so you're getting something that obviously could not depend on anything called&nbsp;''i''.  If, as seems plausible, the statement in the second section is the truth, then the first paragraph needs to get altered accordingly, starting with eliminating the word "both". [[User:Michael Hardy|Michael Hardy]] ([[User talk:Michael Hardy|talk]]) 18:30, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
: Also, you say Kemeny offered a prise, but you don't say if anyone claimed it, nor who proved the conjecture and when.  Your first paragraph seems to imply that it was later proved, but the rest leaves me unsure. [[User:Michael Hardy|Michael Hardy]] ([[User talk:Michael Hardy|talk]]) 18:31, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

....OK, I've done some editing consistent with the remarks above. [[User:Michael Hardy|Michael Hardy]] ([[User talk:Michael Hardy|talk]]) 18:41, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

It appears all removed strings start with a number. Both numerals and spelled numbers are affected, including substrings of longer words like "one" in done and "ten" in written.
