Abstract

In previous work we characterized Gaussian Markov processes with stationary increments and showed that they arise as asymptotic approximations for stochastic point processes with a random rate such as Polya processes, which can be useful to model over-dispersion and path-dependent behavior in service system arrival processes. Here we provide additional insight into these stochastic processes.

Queueing networks with path-dependent arrival processes
Abstract
This paper develops a Gaussian model for an open network of queues having a path-dependent net-input process, whose evolution depends on its early history, and satisfies a non-ergodic law of large numbers. We show that the Gaussian model arises as ...
Heavy traffic limits for queues with non-stationary path-dependent arrival processes
Abstract
In this paper, we develop a diffusion approximation for the transient distribution of the workload process in a standard single-server queue with a non-stationary Polya arrival process, which is a path-dependent Markov point process. The path-...
Comparing Semi-Markov Processes

Sufficient conditions are found for two semi-Markov processes to be stochastically ordered, i.e., for which two new semi-Markov processes can be constructed on a common probability space so that the new processes individually have the same distributions ...
