ABSTRACT:
According to the discrete model of periodical publication
process, recurrence formulae of parameters of the process are gained and
the initial conditions of control process parameters from one steady
state to another are deduced. Using the variable separation approach,
which is used generally to solve the partial differential equation, the
recurrence computing formula of the publication probability function is
deduced. First the publication delay increasing process caused by the
accepted contribution flux increase is simulated, and then the
publication delay decreasing processes under four different control means
are simulated too. Finally it is demonstrated that the periodical
publishing process is a strong inertia system and it is found that
reducing the quantity of deposited contributions can shorten the
publication delay.
