Decomposition Property for Markov-modulated Queues with Applications to Warranty Management
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we study Markov-modulated queues with and without jumps. These queueing models arise naturally in production-inventory systems with and without an external supplier. We show an interesting decomposition property that relates the equilibrium state distributions in these two systems, and present an integrated warranty-inventory management model as an application.

A note on Infinite-Server Markov modulated and Single-Server retrial Queues
We reconsider the M/M/∞ queue with two-state Markov modulated arrival and service processes and the singleserver retrial queue analyzed in Keilson and Servi [1]. Fuhrmann and Cooper type stochastic decomposition holds for the stationary occupancy distributions in both queues ([1] and [2]). The main contribution of the present paper is the derivation of the explicit form of the stationary system...
متن کاملDecomposition Property in a Discrete-time Queue with Multiple Input Streams and Service Interruptions
This paper studies a discrete-time single-server queue with two independent inputs and service interruptions. One of the inputs to the queue is an independent and identically distributed process. The other is a much more general process and it is not required to be Markov nor is it required to be stationary. The service interruption process is also general and it is not required to be Markov or...
متن کاملDiscrete-time Priority Queues with Two-state Markov Modulated Arrivals
A class of discrete-time priority queueing systems with Markov modulated arrivals is considered. In these systems, N queues are served by a single server according to priorities that are preassigned to the queues. Packet arrivals are modeled as discrete-time batch processes with a distribution that depends on the state of an independent common two-state Markov chain. This allows to cover a wide...
متن کاملLongest Path in Networks of Queues in the Steady-State
Due to the importance of longest path analysis in networks of queues, we develop an analytical method for computing the steady-state distribution function of longest path in acyclic networks of queues. We assume the network consists of a number of queuing systems and each one has either one or infinite servers. The distribution function of service time is assumed to be exponential or Erlang. Fu...
متن کاملStochastic bounds for a single server queue with general retrial times
We propose to use a mathematical method based on stochastic comparisons of Markov chains in order to derive performance indice bounds. The main goal of this paper is to investigate various monotonicity properties of a single server retrial queue with first-come-first-served (FCFS) orbit and general retrial times using the stochastic ordering techniques.
