Queueing theory is a mathematical study of waiting lines or queues used to model a wide array of practical systems such as call centres, manufacturing lines, computer networks and healthcare ...

Load balancing and queueing theory constitute fundamental pillars in the analysis and optimisation of complex service systems. These disciplines merge mathematical modelling and algorithmic strategies ...

It is shown that a class of infinite, block-partitioned, stochastic matrices has a matrix-geometric invariant probability vector of the form (x0,x1,...), where xk=x0Rk, for k≥ 0. The rate matrix R is ...

Queuing theory is the mathematical analysis of waiting in line. The line might involve data waiting for processing, equipment parts waiting in an assembly line or people waiting in line at various ...

Let’s say you and your roommate have a little side business baking rhubarb pies at home and selling them on a street corner. Folks love pie, and you’re having trouble keeping up with demand. But you ...

You run into the grocery store to quickly pick up one ingredient. You grab what you need and head to the front of the store. After quickly sizing up the check-out lines, you choose the one that looks ...
