Consider a system (e.g. a computer farm or a call center) operating as a M/M/c queue, where c = 1, or 1 < c < ∞, or c = ∞. The system as a whole suffers disastrous break...
: In this paper we study the Lindley-type equation W = max{0, B − A − W}. Its main characteristic is that it is a non-increasing monotone function in its main argument W. Our m...
We present the queueing analysis of a degenerate buffer having access to a single server. This system cannot realize any given delay, but only values that are an integer multiple ...
The present paper deals with the problem of calculating queue length distributions in a polling model with (exhaustive) k-limited service under the assumption of general arrival, ...
Recently, a state-dependent change of measure for simulating overflows in the two-node tandem queue was proposed by Dupuis et al. (Ann. Appl. Probab. 17(4):1306– 1346, 2007), to...
