Abstract:Spectral expansion and matrix analytic methods are important solution mechanisms for matrix polynomial equations. These equations are encountered in the steady-state analysis of Markov chains with a semi-finite or finite two dimensional lattice of states, which describe a significant class of finite and infinite queues. We prove that the limited size of the eigenspectrum of the matrix geometric representation used in matrix analytic solution mechanisms confines its applicability to systems with a number of eig… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
