Abstract
In this paper, we analyse\, : \begin{enumerate} \item a storage allocation algorithm which permits to maintain two stacks inside a shared (contiguous) memory area of a fixed size, \item the well-known banker algorithm which plays a fundamental role in parallel processing. \end{enumerate} The natural formulation of the problems to be solved here is in terms of random walks. For (1) the random walk Y_{m}(.) takes place in a triangle in a 2-dimensional lattice space with two reflecting barriers along the axes (a deletion takes no effect on an empty stack) and one absorbing barrier parallel to the second diagonal (the algorithm stops when the combined sizes of the stacks exhaust the available storage). For (2) the random walk takes place in a rectangle with breaked corner and has four reflecting barriers and one absorbing barrier. With the help of diffusions techniques, we obtain, asymptotically\, : \begin{itemize} \item[-] the hitting place (Z_{m}) and time (T_{m}) distributions on the absorbing boundary, \item[-] the joined distribution of Z_{m} and T_{m}, \item[-] the distribution PY_{m}(n)\leq y_{m}, n f(g(f(x))). Eventually, an attempt to extend the recursive path ordering is proposed.
