We investigate an M/M/1 queue operating in two switching environments, where the switch is governed by a two-state time-homogeneous Markov chain. This model allows to describe a system that is subject to regular operating phases alternating…
We study the generalization of the G/G/1 queue obtained by relaxing the assumption of independence between inter-arrival times and service requirements. The analysis is carried out for the class of multivariate matrix exponential…
Time delays are ubiquitous in industry and nature, and they significantly affect both transient dynamics and stability properties. Consequently, it is often necessary to identify and account for the delays when, e.g., designing a…
This paper addresses the analysis of the queue-length process of single-server queues under overdispersion, i.e., queues fed by an arrival process for which the variance of the number of arrivals in a given time window exceeds the…
In this paper, we consider the N-urn Ehrenfest model. By utilizing an auxiliary continuous-time Markov chain, we obtain the explicit formula for the Laplace transform of the hitting time from a single state to a set A of states where A…
It is difficult to analyze the stability of systems with time-varying delays. One approach is to construct a time-transformation that converts the system into a form with a constant delay but with a time-varying scalar appearing in the…
In this work, we consider the case where a source with bursty traffic can adjust the transmission duration in order to increase the reliability. The source is equipped with a queue in order to store the arriving packets. We model the system…
The probabilistic interpretation of Laplace transforms is used to help to describe the Laplace Transform $L(s)$ of improper random variables. In particular, busy periods in queueing models are examined. The value of $L(0)$ is explained in…
We formulate a perturbative approach for studying a class of multi-level time-dependent quantum systems with constant off-diagonal couplings and diabatic energies being odd functions of time. Applying this approach to a general multistate…
Distributed delay equations have been used to model situations in which there is some sort of delay whose duration is uncertain. However, the interpretation of a distributed delay equation is actually very different from that of a delay…
Periodic patterns in dynamical behaviours of biological models described by simple form differential delay equations are studied. Mathematical models are given by a class of scalar delay differential equations with a multiplicative time…
This paper is motivated by the observation that the average queueing delay can be decreased by sacrificing power efficiency in wireless communications. In this sense, we naturally wonder what is the minimum queueing delay when the available…
Existence of a new type of oscillating synchronization that oscillates between three different types of synchronizations (anticipatory, complete and lag synchronizations) is identified in unidirectionally coupled nonlinear time-delay…
This paper deals with the state estimation of linear time-invariant systems using distributed observers with local sampled-data measurement and aperiodic communication. Each observer agent perceives partial information of the system to be…
In this paper, we introduce the elephant random walk (ERW) with memory consisting of randomly selected steps from its history. It is a time-changed variant of the standard elephant random walk with memory consisting of its full history. At…
We analyze a tandem network of polling queues with two product types and two stations. We assume that external arrivals to the network follow a Poisson process, and service times at each station are exponentially distributed. For this…
The existence of anticipatory, complete and lag synchronization in a single system having two different time-delays, that is feedback delay $\tau_1$ and coupling delay $\tau_2$, is identified. The transition from anticipatory to complete…
Virtually all practical settings where preemptive scheduling is employed are susceptible to preemption overhead, and accounting for these overheads is necessary to make informed scheduling design decisions. However, preemption overhead is…
In this paper we analyze the transient behavior of the workload process in a L\'evy input queue. We are interested in the value of the workload process at a random epoch; this epoch is distributed as the sum of independent exponential…
Consider the problem of a multiple access channel in a time dependent environment with a large number of users. In such a system, mostly due to practical constraints (e.g., decoding complexity), not all users can be scheduled together, and…
