Markov chains and queueing theory together provide a robust framework for analysing systems that evolve randomly over time. Markov chains describe stochastic processes where the future state depends ...

We consider curbside bus stops of the kind that serve multiple bus routes and that are isolated from the effects of traffic signals and other stops. A Markov chain embedded in the bus queueing process ...

Queueing systems with working vacations refer to mathematical models in which service providers (servers) intermittently operate at a reduced capacity rather than coming to a complete standstill ...
