Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue contains several relevant contributions to the study of partial differential equations with integral boundary conditions appearing in queueing theory, reliability theory, age-structured population dynamics, and age-structured epidemic dynamics. The papers are concerned with the existence and uniqueness of the time-dependent (dynamic) solution, the asymptotic behavior (asymptotic stability) of the time-dependent (dynamic) solution, the structure of the time-dependent solution, the asymptotic behavior of the system indices (time-dependent queueing length, time-dependent availability, etc.), and spectral analysis of the underlying operators which correspond to above partial-differential equations, as well as with numerical approaches.

In this paper, a k/n(G) retrial system with multiple working vacations is considered, and a mathematical model of the system is established by supplementary variable method, and a dynamic analysis of the system is carried out. Firstly, the model is transformed into an abstract Cauchy problem in Banach space by introducing the state space, main operator and its definition domain. Secondly, the C0-semigroup theory in functional analysis and the spectral theory of linear operators are used to prove that the main operator of the model generates a positive contraction C0-semigroup, which leads to the existence of a unique, non-negative time-dependent solution of the system that satisfies the probabilistic properties. Finally, Greiner’s boundary perturbation idea and the spectral properties of the corresponding operators are used to show that the time-dependent solution strongly converges to its steady-state solution.

By using the C0-semigroup theory, we study the asymptotic behavior of the time-dependent solution and the time-dependent indices of the M[X]/G/1 queuing model with feedback and optional server vacations based on a single vacation policy. This queuing model is described by infinitely many partial differential equations with integral boundary conditions in an unbounded interval. Under certain conditions, by studying spectrum of the underlying operator of this queuing model on the imaginary axis, we prove that the time-dependent solution of this queuing model strongly converges to its steady-state solution. Next, we prove that the time-dependent queuing length of this queuing system converges to its steady-state queuing length and the time-dependent waiting time of this queuing system converges to its steady-state waiting time as time tends to infinity. Our results extend the steady-state results of this queuing system. Full article
