Chapter Chapter 2 in Markov Chains, 2013, pp 47-76 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, we first discuss some more Markovian queueing systems. The queueing system is a classical application of continuous Markov chains. We then present an important numerical algorithm based on the computation of Markov chains for ranking webpages. This is a modern application of Markov chains though the numerical methods used are classical.
