Markov chains and queueing theory together provide a robust framework for analysing systems that evolve randomly over time. Markov chains describe stochastic processes where the future state depends ...

Polling systems and queueing theory constitute a significant branch of applied mathematics that underpins various modern technological and industrial applications. These areas investigate systems ...

High-order Markov chain models extend the conventional framework by incorporating dependencies that span several previous states rather than solely the immediate past. This extension allows for a ...

“We can use some fancy math to predict how long the line will get,” Keely Croxton of Ohio State says, then apply it to related problems. In response to a listener request, “Marketplace” host Kai ...
