摘要:
本文讨论连续时间块结构马尔可夫链(block-structured Markov chains,简称BSMCs)的末列块增广西北角截断(简称LC-block-augmented截断)的误差估计。我们首先在BSMC满足一般$f$-调制漂移条件的假设下,推导BSMC与其LC-block-augmented截断的时间平均泛函之间绝对差的上界。随后,我们针对BSMC指数遍历的特殊情况建立了可计算的界。为推导一般情形下的此类可计算界,我们提出一种将BSMC转化为指数遍历的方法。我们还将所得界应用于水平依赖拟生灭过程(level-dependent quasi-birth-and-death processes,简称LD-QBDs),并通过M/M/$s$重试排队(LD-QBDs的典型例子)的数值结果讨论界的性质。最后,我们给出了BSMC平稳分布向量的可计算扰动界。
英文摘要:
This paper discusses the error estimation of the last-column-block-augmented northwest-corner truncation (LC-block-augmented truncation, for short) of block-structured Markov chains (BSMCs) in continuous time. We first derive upper bounds for the absolute difference between the time-averaged functionals of a BSMC and its LC-block-augmented truncation, under the assumption that the BSMC satisfies the general $f$-modulated drift condition. We then establish computable bounds for a special case where the BSMC is exponentially ergodic. To derive such computable bounds for the general case, we propose a method that reduces BSMCs to be exponentially ergodic. We also apply the obtained bounds to level-dependent quasi-birth-and-death processes (LD-QBDs), and discuss the properties of the bounds through the numerical results on an M/M/$s$ retrial queue, which is a representative example of LD-QBDs. Finally, we present computable perturbation bounds for the stationary distribution vectors of BSMCs.
