Queueing models with interactions • Renyi parking model • Wireless communications • Computer systems • Reservation systems (hotels) • Physics and chemistry • Harrison Network
Baryshnikov, Coffman & Jelenkovic[2004]. Space filling and depletion. Jobs with length arrive at every integer point with Poisson rate Exp service times At most k overlapping jobs can be accepted for service Loss model: jobs not accepted are dropped Queueingmodel: jobs form queue
Baryshnikov, Coffman & Jelenkovic[2004]. Space filling and depletion. Questions: loss rate? Stability? Queue length? Wait times? BC&J: solved loss model when k=1 and general k, and length l=1,2. Used generating function method. But alternatively one can view it as a Markov chain (see later). Stability question is wide open even in the uniform case.
Baccelli & Foss [2011]. Poisson Hail on a Hot Ground Jobs have general (Borel) shape. General interarrival and service times. Ovelapping jobs form queues. Question: stability.
Baccelli & Foss [2011]. Poisson Hail on a Hot Ground Theorem[BF] . The system is stable if job sizes have exponential tails and the arrival rate is sufficiently small. Tight conditions for stability is open. Performance analysis (queue length, space utilization) open.
Where can we search for general purpose tools? A small detour into statistical physics.
Where can we search for general purpose tools? Independent set (hard-core) model When ½ is small, correlations are short-range. When ½ is large correlations are long-range Conjecture: critical ½*=3.796 Randall [2011]. ½*<6.18. Restrepo, Shin, Tetali, Vigoda, Yang [2011]. ½*>2.38. Shah et al. Applications to wireless communications.
Correlation decay (long-range independence) method The correlation decay method allows computing approximately Weitz[2006]. General graphs, independent sets. G & Katz [2009]. Lattices. Improved earlier estimates for monomer-dimer model with two orders of magnitude. One-dimensional case is solved easily by reduction to a Markov chain. 0.78595 ·h(3)· 0.78599 0.7845· h(3)· 0.7862
Challenges • Non Poisson-Exponential models. Are even 1-dim models solvable? • Short range vs long-range for non Poisson/Exp models? • Interaction between stability and phase transition (long-range dependence). Which one “acts” first?
