The subject of this paper is networks of queues with an infinite number of servers at each node in the system. Our purpose is to point out that independent motions of customers in the system, which are characteristic of infinite-server networks, lead in a simple way to time-dependent distributions of state, and thence to steady-state distributions; moreover, these steady-state distributions often exhibit an invariance with regard to distributions of service in the network. We consider closed systems in which a fixed and finite number of customers circulate through the network and no external arrivals or departures are permitted, and open systems in which customers originate from an external source according to a Poisson process, possibly non-homogeneous, and each customer eventually leaves the system.

The experimental investigations of the first model of the externally heated valve engine carried out during 1998-9 are the subject of this paper. The working gas of the engine is air. A detailed description of the engine equipped with two consecutively working heaters is given. Two kinds of heaters were constructed and investigated. The experimental stand and the measurement system are described. In this first stage of the engine investigation, electric radiators were used as the external source of heat. The main aim of the experimental investigations was focused on measurements of time-dependent pressures inside the expander and compressor cylinders. The pressures were measured by means of two kinds of pressure transducers (piezoresistive and piezoelectric) to get confidence in the obtained results. The conducted investigations prove that The engine model has an operating ability. Comparisons of the experimental and theoretical pressures inside the expander and compressor show a satisfactory agreement. It confirms that the engine operates according to the original thermodynamical cycle and exhibits the internal power and efficiency predicted by the computer simulation. The experiences gained during these investigations have been used to modify the engine model, which is outlined in this paper.

We consider an infinite server queueing system. An examination of sample path dynamics allows a straightforward development of integral equations having solutions that give time-dependent occupancy (number of customers) and backlog (unfinished work) distributions (conditioned on the time of the first arrival) for the GI/G/∞ queue. These integral equations are amenable to numerical evaluation and can be generalized to characterize GIX/G/∞ queue. Two examples are given to illustrate the results.

Abstract In this paper we study the number of customers in infinite-server queues with a self-exciting (Hawkes) arrival process. Initially we assume that service requirements are exponentially distributed and that the Hawkes arrival process is of a Markovian nature. We obtain a system of differential equations that characterizes the joint distribution of the arrival intensity and the number of customers. Moreover, we provide a recursive procedure that explicitly identifies (transient and stationary) moments. Subsequently, we allow for non-Markovian Hawkes arrival processes and nonexponential service times. By viewing the Hawkes process as a branching process, we find that the probability generating function of the number of customers in the system can be expressed in terms of the solution of a fixed-point equation. We also include various asymptotic results: we derive the tail of the distribution of the number of customers for the case that the intensity jumps of the Hawkes process are heavy tailed, and we consider a heavy-traffic regime. We conclude by discussing how our results can be used computationally and by verifying the numerical results via simulations.

This paper focuses on an infinite-server queue modulated by an independently evolving finite-state Markovian background process, with transition rate matrix Q≡(qij)i,j=1d. Both arrival rates and service rates are depending on the state of the background process. The main contribution concerns the derivation of central limit theorems (CLTs) for the number of customers in the system at time t≥0, in the asymptotic regime in which the arrival rates λi are scaled by a factor N, and the transition rates qij by a factor Nα, with α∈ℝ+. The specific value of α has a crucial impact on the result: (i) for α>1 the system essentially behaves as an M/M/∞ queue, and in the CLT the centered process has to be normalized by √N; (ii) for α<1, the centered process has to be normalized by N1−α/2, with the deviation matrix appearing in the expression for the variance.

Ground- and excited-states properties of N2200 have been studied by steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopies as well as time-dependent density functional theory calculations.
