Tóm tắt

In this paper, we analyze Markov modulated fluid flow processes with one-sided ph-type jumps using the completed graph and also through the limits of coupled queueing processes to be constructed. For the models, we derive various results on time-dependent distributions and distributions of first passage times, and present the Riccati equations that transform matrices of the first return times to 0 satisfy. The Riccati equations enable us to compute the transform matrices using Newton’s method which is known very fast and stable. Finally,wepresent some duality results between the model with ph-type downward jumps and the model with ph-type upward jumps. This paper contains extended results of Ahn (2009) and probabilistic interpretations given by the completed graphs.
