Abstract
A single queueing system with time-dependent exponentially distributed arrival processes and exponential machine processes (Kendall notation $M_t/M_t/1$) is analyzed. Modeling the time evolution for the discrete queue-length distribution by a continuous drift-diffusion process a Smoluchowski equation on the half space is derived approximating the forward Kolmogorov equations. The approximate model is analyzed and validated, showing excellent agreement for the probabilities of all queue lengths and for all queuing utilizations, including ones that are very small and some that are significantly larger than one. Having an excellent approximation for the probability of an empty queue generates an approximation of the expected outflow of the queueing system. Comparisons to several well-established approximation from the literature show significant improvements in several numerical examples.
期刊介绍:
JCD is focused on the intersection of computation with deterministic and stochastic dynamics. The mission of the journal is to publish papers that explore new computational methods for analyzing dynamic problems or use novel dynamical methods to improve computation. The subject matter of JCD includes both fundamental mathematical contributions and applications to problems from science and engineering. A non-exhaustive list of topics includes * Computation of phase-space structures and bifurcations * Multi-time-scale methods * Structure-preserving integration * Nonlinear and stochastic model reduction * Set-valued numerical techniques * Network and distributed dynamics JCD includes both original research and survey papers that give a detailed and illuminating treatment of an important area of current interest. The editorial board of JCD consists of world-leading researchers from mathematics, engineering, and science, all of whom are experts in both computational methods and the theory of dynamical systems.
