Algorithms for the Laplace-Stieltjes transforms of first return times for stochastic fluid flows (Q1042537)

The authors provide a fluid model which is significant to the telecommunications performance has inspired a large amount of research. The paper promote several algorithms which can be used to calculate the Laplace-Stieltjes transforms of the time taken to return to the initial level in the Markovian stochastic fluid flow model above. The methodology for constructing these algorithms is a valuable contribution to the theory of fluid flow models.
