A NEWLY UPDATED AND AUTHORITATIVE EXPLORATION OF DIFFERENTIAL AND DIFFERENCE EQUATIONS USED IN QUEUEING THEORY In the newly revised second edition of _Differential and Difference Equations with Applications in Queueing Theory_, a team of distinguished researchers delivers an up-to-date discussion of the unique connections between the methods and applications of differential equations, difference equations, and Markovian queues. The authors provide a deep exploration of first principles and a wide variety of examples in applied mathematics and engineering and stochastic processes. This book demonstrates the wide applicability of queuing theory in a range of fields, including telecommunications, traffic engineering, computing, and facility design. It contains brand-new information on partial differential equations as a prerequisite for solving queueing models, as well as sample MATLAB code for addressing these models. Readers will also find: * A large collection of new examples and enhanced end-of-chapter problems with included solutions * Comprehensive explorations of single-server, multiple-server, parallel, and series queue models * Practical discussions of splitting, delayed-service, and delayed feedback * Enhanced treatments of concepts queueing theory, accessible across engineering and mathematics Perfect for junior and up undergraduate, as well as graduate students in electrical and mechanical engineering, _Differential and Difference Equations with Applications in Queueing Theory_ will also benefit students of computer science, mathematics, and applied mathematics.
