Networks—B
Jean C. Walrand · 2021
Abstract This chapter provides the derivations of the results in the previous chapter. It also develops the theory of continuous-time Markov chains. Section 6.1 proves the results on the spreading of rumors. Section 6.2 presents the theory of continuous-time Markov chains that are used to model queueing networks, among many other applications. That section explains the relationships between continuous-time and related discrete-time Markov chains. Sections 6.3 and 6.4 prove the results about product-form networks by using a time-reversal argument.
