On the Rate of Convergence to Stationarity of the $M/M/n$ Queue

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

TITLE: On the Rate of Convergence to Stationarity of the $M/M/n$ Queue in the Halfin-Whitt Regime

SPEAKER: David Goldberg

ABSTRACT:

We study the rate of convergence to stationarity of the M/M/n queue in the Halfin-Whitt Regime. We prove that there is an interesting phase transition in the system's behavior, occurring when a critical parameter B reaches B* sim 1.85772. For B < B*, the exponential rate of convergence is B2/4; above B* it is the solution to an equation involving the Parabolic Cylinder functions. We also bound the prefactor governing the rate of convergence uniformly over n, for B < B*.
