Computational Uses of the Method of Phases in the Theory of Queues.
Abstract
A probability density on the positive integers is of phase type, if it is the probability density of the time till absorption in an (m+1)-state with one absorbing state m+1, and m transient states all of which lead to the absorbing state. If the service times in a discrete time queue have densities of phase type, several transient and stationary probability distributions of interest may be computed by highly efficient algorithms, which are presented in the paper.
