Difference and Differential Equations with Applications in Queueing Theory

Appropriate for students and practitioners alike, this book uniquely combines rich and interrelated areas of differential equations, difference equations, and queueing models along with the needed prerequisite fundamentals in probability, statistics, and Laplace transform. It provides single-server, multiple-server, parallel, and series queue models with discussions on splitting, delayed-service, and delayed feedback. In addition, each chapter concludes with exercises featuring answers to select problems.
