In economics, cash management problems may be modelled by birth-death processes which reset to central states when a boundary is reached. The nature of the transient behaviour of the probability distribution of such processes symmetric about a central state is investigated. A diffusion approximation of such processes is given and the transient probability behaviour derived from the diffusion equation.

We consider the repairman problem which corresponds to the finite population M/M/1 queue. Asymptotic approximations for the transient probability distribution of the number of broken machines constructed when the number M of machines is large and the service (repair) rate is also large, specifically, O(M). The approximations are constructed by using singular perturbation techniques such as the ray method, boundary layer theory, and the method of matched asymptotic expansions. Extensive numerical comparisons show the quality of our approximations.

In this paper we consider a queue fed by a large number of independent continuous-time Gaussian processes with stationary increments. After scaling the buffer exceedance threshold and the (constant) service capacity by the number of sources, we present asymptotically exact results for the probability that the buffer threshold is exceeded. We consider both the stationary overflow probability and the (transient) probability of overflow at a finite time horizon. We give detailed results for the practically important cases in which the inputs are fractional Brownian motion processes or integrated Gaussian processes.

International audience A new approach is used to determine the transient probability functions of Markov processes. This new solution method is a sample path counting approach and uses dual processes and randomization. The approach is illustrated by determining transient probability functions for a three-state Markov process. This approach also provides a way to calculate transient probability functions for Markov processes which have specific sample path characteristics.
