Abstract

In this paper we develop the first perfect sampling algorithm for queues with Hawkes input, i.e. single-server queues with Hawkes arrivals and i.i.d. service times of general distribution. In addition to the stability condition, we also assume the excitation function of the Hawkes process has a light tail and the service time has finite moment generating function in the neighborhood of the origin. In this procedure, we also propose a new perfect sampling algorithm for Hawkes process with improved computational efficiency compared to the existing algorithm. Theoretical analysis and numerical tests on the algorithms' correctness and efficiency are also included.
