Tail asymptotics for the queue size distribution in the MAP/G/1 retrial queue

We consider a MAP/G/1 retrial queue where the service time distribution has a finite exponential moment. We derive matrix differential equations for the vector probability generating functions of the stationary queue size distributions. Using these equations, Perron-Frobenius theory, and the Karamata Tauberian theorem, we obtain the tail asymptotics of the queue size distribution. The main result on light-tailed asymptotics is an extension of the result in Kim et al. (J. Appl. Probab. 44:1111-1118, 2007) on the M/G/1 retrial queue.
