Functional central limit theorems for Markov-modulated infinite-server systems

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: In this paper we study the Markov-modulated M/M/infty queue, with a focus on the correlation structure of the number of jobs in the system. The main results describe the system's asymptotic behavior under a particular scaling of the model parameters in terms of a functional central limit theorem. More specifically, relying on the martingale central limit theorem, this result is established, covering the situation in which the arrival rates are sped up by a factor N and the transition rates of the background process by Nalpha, for some alpha>0. The results reveal an interesting dichotomy, with crucially different behavior for alpha>1 and alpha<1, respectively. The limiting Gaussian process, which is of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type, is explicitly identified, and it is shown to be in accordance with explicit results on the mean, variances and covariances of the number of jobs in the system.
