The present paper provides some new stochastic inequalities for the characteristics of the $M/GI/1/n$ and $GI/M/1/n$ loss queueing systems. These stochastic inequalities are based on substantially deepen up- and down-crossings analysis, and…
The paper studies an improved estimate for the rate of convergence for nonlinear homogeneous discrete-time Markov chains. These processes are nonlinear in terms of the distribution law. Hence, the transition kernels are dependent on the…
In this paper, we develop a general law of large numbers and central limit theorem for cumulative reward processes associated with finite state Markov jump processes with non-stationary transition rates. Such models commonly arise in…
We study randomized experiments in a service system when stochastic congestion can arise from temporarily limited supply or excess demand. Such congestion gives rise to cross-unit interference between the waiting customers, and analytic…
Obtaining estimates of the convergence rate of the regenerating process $Q(t)$ whose value at time $t$ is equal to the number of claims in the system $ M \backslash G \backslash \infty $ at this moment, to the limit (stationary) regime.
A Markovian single-server queue is studied in an interactive random environment. The arrival and service rates of the queue depend on the environment, while the transition dynamics of the random environment depends on the queue length. We…
Consider a countably infinite collection of interacting queues, with a queue located at each point of the $d$-dimensional integer grid, having independent Poisson arrivals, but dependent service rates. The service discipline is of the…
We consider a single-server queue where interarrival and service times depend linearly and randomly on customer waiting times, and establish a sample-path moderate deviation principle (MDP) for the waiting time process. The waiting times…
Approximations for the mean performance indices for the M/G/c queue rely on the approximate computation of the probability that an arriving request has to wait for service and of the minimum of residual service times if all servers are…
In this paper we show that in a multiclass Markovian network with unit rate servers, the condition that the average load $\rho$ at every server is less than unity is indeed sufficient for the stability or positive recurrence for \emph{any}…
In this paper we study the long term evolution of a continuous time Markov chain formed by two interacting birth-and-death processes. The interaction between the processes is modelled by transition rates which are functions with suitable…
The performance analysis of peer-to-peer (P2P) networks calls for a new kind of queueing model, in which jobs and service stations arrive randomly. Except in some simple special cases, in general, the queueing model with varying service…
It is known that in a stationary Brownian queue with both arrival and service processes equal in law to Brownian motion, the departure process is a Brownian motion, that is, Burke's theorem in this context. In this short note we prove…
To ensure the effective and objective development of transportation networks, it is crucial to identify performance limitations across various subsystems. A timetable-independent assessment of infrastructure capacity at railway junctions is…
Single-server queues with customer abandonment arise in call centers and many service systems, but steady-state performance measures remain analytically intractable beyond Markovian assumptions. This paper develops Robust Queueing (RQ)…
We consider the so-called GI/GI/N queueing network in which a stream of jobs with independent and identically distributed service times arrive according to a renewal process to a common queue served by $N$ identical servers in a…
We review the role of information and learning in the stability and optimization of queueing systems. In recent years, techniques from supervised learning, bandit learning and reinforcement learning have been applied to queueing systems…
We analyze opportunistic schemes for transmission scheduling from one of $n$ homogeneous queues whose channel states fluctuate independently. Considered schemes consist of the LCQ policy, which transmits from a longest connected queue in…
In a Markov chain population model subject to catastrophes, random immigration events (birth), promoting growth, are in balance with the effect of binomial catastrophes that cause recurrent mass removal (death). Using a generating function…
The optimal tradeoff between average service cost rate, average utility rate, and average delay is addressed for a state dependent M/M/1 queueing model, with controllable queue length dependent service rates and arrival rates. For a model…
