Part 1: Multi-class queueing networks (with infinite supplies)
1 2 3 4 The Push-Pull Network • Continuous Time, Discrete Jobs • 2 job streams, 4 steps • Queues at pull operations • Infinite job supply at 1 and 3 • 2 servers Push Pull Pull Push • Control choice based on • No idling, FULL UTILIZATION • Preemptive resume Push Pull Push Pull

Main Idea Establish that an “associated” deterministic system is “stable” The “framework” then impliesthat is “stable” Nice, since stability of is sometimes easier to establish than directly working
1 2 3 4 Stochastic Model and Fluid Model
Comments on the Fluid Model • T is Lipschitz and thus has derivative almost everywhere • Any Y=(Q,T) that satisfies the fluid model is called a solution • In general (for arbitrary networks) a solution can be non-unique
Stability of Fluid Model Definition: A fluid model is stable, if when ever, there exists T, such that for all solutions, Definition: A fluid model is weakly stable, if when ever Main Results of “Fluid Limit Method” Stable Fluid Model Technical Conditions on Markov Process (Pettiness) Positive Harris Recurrence Associationof Fluid Model To Stochastic System Weakly Stable Fluid Model Rate Stability:
LyapounovProofs for Fluid Stability Need: for every solution of fluid model: • When , it stays at 0. • When , at regular • points of t, .
