好的,所以我最终走上了一条完全不同的道路。我已经实现了定义更新函数的积分方程的简单离散化:
m(t) = F(t) + integrate (m(t - s)*f(s), s, 0, t)
积分用矩形规则近似。逼近不同 t 值的积分给出了一个线性方程组。我编写了一个函数来生成方程并从中提取系数矩阵。在看了一些例子之后,我猜到了一个直接定义系数的规则,并用它来为一些例子生成解决方案。特别是我尝试了 shape = 2, t = 10,就像在 OP 的例子中一样,step = 0.1(所以 101 个方程)。
我发现该结果与我在一篇论文中找到的近似结果非常吻合(Baxter 等人,在代码中引用)。由于更新函数是事件的预期数量,因此对于大的 t,它大约等于 t/mu,其中 mu 是事件之间的平均时间;这是了解我们是否在附近任何地方的便捷方式。
我正在使用 Maxima ( http://maxima.sourceforge.net ),它对数值的东西效率不高,但它可以很容易地尝试不同的方面。在这一点上,将最终的数字内容移植到另一种语言(如 Python)将很简单。
感谢 OP 提出问题,感谢 S. Pappadeux 进行有见地的讨论。这是我将离散近似值(红色)与大 t 的近似值(蓝色)进行比较的图。尝试了一些不同步长的示例,我发现随着步长变小,值往往会增加一点,所以我认为红线可能有点低,蓝线可能更接近正确。

这是我的千里马代码:
