Fast solvers for queueing systems with negative customers

摘要

In this paper, we are interested in solving queueing systems having Poisson batch arrivals, exponential servers and negative customers. Preconditioned Conjugate Gradient (PCG) method is applied to solving the steady-state probability distribution of the queueing system. Preconditioners are constructed by exploiting near-Toeplitz structure of the generator matrix and the Gohberg-Semumcul formula. We proved that the preconditioned system has singular values clustered around one. Therefore Conjugate Gradient (CG) methods when applied to solving the preconditioned system, we expect fast convergence rate. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate our claim.
