Transient behavior for some Jackson networks. (English) Zbl 0765.60093

Summary: The transient law is given in an explicit and tractable form for some special Jackson networks including the \(M/PH/\infty\) queueing system: namely, in each station, the number of servers is assumed to be infinite. For the considered networks, the transient law is a combination of Poisson distributions, the expectations of which are computed. The case where some parameters — in a Jackson network — change suddenly is emphasized: in this case, the transient law has an \(m\)-dimensional Poisson distribution.
