Abstract

A problem for a backward–forward parabolic partial differential equation with a small diffusion coefficient ε is analyzed. The problem arises in describing the stochastic behaviour of a data-handling system with a large number of sources which turn on or off at random. We solve the problem asymptotically for ε small by using the ray method and the boundary layer method.
