Numerical solution of a matrix integral equation arising in Markov Modulated Lévy processes
Dario A. Bini, Guy Latouche, Beatrice Meini
Markov-modulated Lévy processes lead to matrix integral equations of the kind where , , are given matrix coefficients, while …
A family of fast fixed point iterations for M/G/1-type Markov chains
Dario Andrea Bini, Guy Latouche, Beatrice Meini
We consider the problem of computing the minimal nonnegative solution of the nonlinear matrix equation where , for , are nonnega…
Traffic lights, clumping and QBDs
Steven Finch, Guy Latouche, Guy Louchard +1
In discrete time, -blocks of red lights are separated by -blocks of green lights. Cars arrive at random. \ We seek the distribution of maximum line length of idle cars,…
Analysis of fluid flow models
Guy Latouche, Giang Nguyen
Markov-modulated fluids have a long history. They form a simple class of Markov additive processes, and were initially developed in the 1950s as models for dams and reservoirs, bef…
The time-dependent expected reward and deviation matrix of a finite QBD process
Sarah Dendievel, Sophie Hautphenne, Guy Latouche +1
Deriving the time-dependent expected reward function associated with a continuous-time Markov chain involves the computation of its transient deviation matrix. In this paper we foc…
Perturbation analysis of Markov modulated fluid models
Sarah Dendievel, Guy Latouche
We consider perturbations of positive recurrent Markov modulated fluid models. In addition to the infinitesimal generator of the phases, we also perturb the rate matrix, and analyz…
