Switched server systems are mathematical models of manufacturing, traffic and queueing systems. Recently, it was proved in (Eur. J. Appl. Math. 31(4) (2020), pp. 682-708) that there exist switched server systems with $3$ buffers (tanks), a…
Hybrid switching - in which a high bandwidth circuit switch (optical or wireless) is used in conjunction with a low bandwidth packet switch - is a promising alternative to interconnect servers in today's large scale data-centers. Circuit…
We study dynamical systems that switch between two different vector fields depending on a discrete variable and with a delay. When the delay reaches a problem-dependent critical value so-called event collisions occur. This paper classifies…
This paper considers a network of infinite-server queues with the special feature that, triggered by specific events, the network population vector may undergo a linear transformation (a `multiplicative transition'). For this model we…
The transition from rotational to discontinuous behavior of the return map of the perturbed oscillators-step system, a paradigm model for a perturbation of a pseudo-integrable Hamiltonian impact system, is studied. The form of the return…

In this thesis, we study the queueing systems with heterogeneous servers and service rate uncertainty under the Halfin-Whitt heavy traffic regime. First, we analyse many server queues with abandonments when service rates are i.i.d. random…
A many-server queueing system is considered in which customers arrive according to a renewal process and have service and patience times that are drawn from two independent sequences of independent, identically distributed random variables.…
We present exact results, as well as some illustrative Monte Carlo simulations, concerning a stochastic network with weighted connections in which the fraction of nodes that are dynamically synchronized is a parameter. This allows one to…
Across natural and human-made systems, transition points mark sudden changes of order and are thus key to understanding overarching system features. Motivated by recent experimental observations, we here uncover an intriguing class of…
Stability is a key property of dynamical systems. In some cases, we want to change unstable system into stable one to achieve certain goals in engineering. Here, we present an example of a $3$ dimensional switched system that alternates…
Increased day-trading activity and the subsequent jump in intraday volatility and trading volume fluctuations has raised considerable interest in models for financial market microstructure. We investigate the random transitions between two…
Service systems like data centers and ride-hailing are popularly modeled as queueing systems in the literature. Such systems are primarily studied in the steady state due to their analytical tractability. However, almost all applications in…
We study a queueing network with a single shared server, that serves the queues in a cyclic order according to the gated service discipline. External customers arrive at the queues according to independent Poisson processes. After…
The paper studies closed queueing networks containing a server station and $k$ client stations. The server station is an infinite server queueing system, and client stations are single-server queueing systems with autonomous service, i.e.…

Traffic systems can operate in different modes. In a previous work, we identified these modes as different quasi-stationary states in the correlation structure. Here, we analyze the transitions between such quasi-stationary states, i.e.,…
