Further results of Markovian bulk-arrival and bulk-service queues with general-state-dependent control (Q6164141)

The \textit{Markovian bulk-arrival and bulk-service queues with general state-dependent control}, recently introduced and studied by \textit{A. Chen} et al. [Queueing Syst. 95, No. 3--4, 331--378 (2020; Zbl 1461.60073)], is a special bulk queue model defined on the state space \(\{0,1,2,\ldots\}\). The specificity of this model is ensured by the existence of a level \(N\ge 1\) such that the infinitesimal transition rates \(q_{ij}\) have the form \(b_{j-i+N}\) for \(i\ge N, \ j\ge i-N\) and \(j\not=i\), under the assumption \(0<-b_N=\sum_{k\not= N}b_k<\infty\). The study of this model is continued and refined by the present extensive work. The strategy used is based on the resolvent decomposition theorem. This tool allows the construction of the full queueing process. Equilibrium properties, queue length distributions, hitting time distribution and busy period distributions are studied and commented. Five relevant examples are explicitly presented at the end of the paper. Among these, the \textit{first order derived queueing model} is numerically illustrated. \par The paper, of a high scientific level, enriches knowledge in the field.
