Several queueing processes may be modeled as random walks on a multidimensional grid. In this paper the equilibrium distribution for the case of a two-dimensional grid is considered. In previous research it has been shown that for some two-dimensional random walks the equilibrium distribution has the form of an infinite series of products of powers which can be constructed with a compensation procedure. The object of the present paper is to investigate under which conditions such an elegant solution exists and may be found with a compensation approach. The conditions can be easily formulated in terms of the random behaviour in the inner area and the drift on the boundaries.

Connections between Markov processes and continued fractions have long been known (see, for example, Good [8]). However the usefulness of extended continued fractions in such a context appears not to have been explored. In this paper a convergence theorem is established for a class of extended continued fractions and used to provide well-behaved solutions for some general order linear recurrence relations such as arise in connection with the equilibrium distribution of state for some Markov processes whose natural state spaces are of dimension 2. Specific application is made to a multiserver version of a queueing problem studied by Neuts and Ramalhoto [13] and to a model proposed by Cohen [5] for repeated call attempts in teletraffic.

I should like to give you a very condensed progress report on some spectrophotometric measurements of objective-prism spectra made in collaboration with H. Leicher at Bonn. The procedure used is almost completely automatic. The measurements are made with the help of a semi-automatic fully digitized registering microphotometer constructed by Hög-Hamburg. The reductions are carried out with the aid of a number of interconnected programmes written for the computer IBM 7090, beginning with the output of the photometer in the form of punched cards and ending with the printing-out of the final two-dimensional classifications.
