Abstract

We derive several algorithms for the busy period distribution of the canonical Markovian fluid flow model. One of them is similar to the Latouche-Ramaswami algorithm for quasi-birth-death models and is shown to be quadratically convergent. These algorithms significantly increase the efficiency of the matrix-geometric procedures developed earlier by the authors for the transient and steady-state analyses of fluid flow models.
