Khintchine-Pollaczek formula for random walks whose steps have one geometric tail

Probability 2012-10-17 v3

Abstract

We derive a Khinchine-Pollaczek formula for random walks whose steps have a geometric left tail. The construction rests on the memory-less property of the geometric distribution. An example from a tandem queue modeling dynamic instability in microtubules is given.
