Matrix-geometric solutions of M/G a unifying generalized state-space approach.

We present an algorithmic approach to find the stationary probability distribution of M/G/1-type Markov chains which arise frequently in performance analysis of computer and communication networks. The approach unifies finite- and infinite-level Markov chains of this type through a generalized state...
