In Previous Lecture • Finished analysis of Markov chains with finite and countable infinite state space • Random walks on discretized spaces of 1, 2, and higher dimensions • Started working with continuous-time Markov chains • Analysis of arrival process using Poisson distribution
Cont-time Markov Chains Continuous-time Markov chains can change their state at any time
Cont-time Markov Chains • Arrival process of customers
Cont-time Markov Chains • Customers arrive one at a time • Average rate of arrival remains constant at customers/second • Probability of arrival in t, a short interval of time, is t • Customers arrive independent of each other
Cont-time Markov Chains Prob. of k customers in [0,t] Arrival time of k-th customer Inter-arrival times Tk=Yk-Yk-1 are i.i.d.
Cont-time Markov Chains Rate of change of probability value Probability of state change from k-1
Cont-time Markov Chains Incremental time model of a continuous-time Markov chain and the transition probabilities
Cont-time Markov Chains Probability of being in state k at t +t
Cont-time Markov Chains Probability of being in state k at t +t
Cont-time Markov Chains Solving for P0(t) using P0(0)=1 Solving for Pk(t)
Cont-time Markov Chains Birth and death type processes
Cont-time Markov Chains • Population increases or decreases by no more than 1 • Birth rate kmay depend upon the current size of population • Death rate kmay depend upon the current population size • Births and deaths occur independent of each other
Cont-time Markov Chains Incremental time model of a birth and death type process
Cont-time Markov Chains Probability of state change from k
Cont-time Markov Chains Arrival process of customers with n = and n=0
Cont-time Markov Chains Customers in a single queue with n = and n=
Cont-time Markov Chains General birth and death process with possible extinction 0 = 0 = 0
Cont-time Markov Chains A continuous-time Markov chain is transient if M/M/1 queue is transient if < M/M/k queue is transient if k < M/M/∞ queue is never transient
Cont-time Markov Chains Stationary probability distribution of a continuous-time Markov chain Rate of change of Pn(t) should be 0
Cont-time Markov Chains Recursive solution gives Since (n)=1
Cont-time Markov Chains Stationary probability distribution of M/M/1 queue Expected length of the queue
