CS 547 Lecture 35: Markov Chains and Queues

Continuous Time Markov Chains Our previous examples focused on discrete time Markov chains with a finite number of states. Queueing models, by contrast, may have an infinite number of states (because the buffer may contain any number of ... which are treated the same as any other transition in a Markov …
