A Note on Many-server Fluid Models with Time-varying Arrivals

Probability 2019-05-01 v1

Abstract

We extend the measure-valued fluid model, which tracks residuals of patience and service times, to allow for time-varying arrivals. The fluid model can be characterized by a one-dimensional convolution equation involving both the patience and service time distributions. We also make an interesting connection to the measure-valued fluid model tracking the elapsed waiting and service times. Our analysis shows that the two fluid models are actually characterized by the same one-dimensional convolution equation.
