Abstract:

Markov models are frequently used for performance modeling. However most models do not have closed form solutions, and numerical solutions are often not feasible due to the large or even infinite state space of models of practical interest. For that, the state-space truncation is often demanded for computation of this kind of models. In this paper, we use the strong stability approach to establish analytic error bounds for the truncation of a tandem queue with blocking. Numerical examples are carried out to illustrate the quality of the obtained error bounds.
