Abstract

We consider a finite QBD process with m levels. Assuming that the mean drift is 0, we obtain an asymptotic behavior πm(m) ∼ (1 / m) c as m → ∞ in the stationary distribution (π0(m), ..., πm(m)), by finding an explicit expression for vector c. This solves the problem that was conjectured by Miyazawa et al. [Asymptotic behaviors of the loss probability for a finite buffer queue with QBD structure, Stochastic Models 23 (2007) 79 - 95].
