| Abstract | A new methodology to assess transient performance measures of tree-like processes is proposed by introducing the concept of tree-like processes with marked time epochs. As opposed to the standard tree-like process, such a process marks part of the time epochs by following a set of Markovian rules. Our interest lies in obtaining the system state at the n-th marked time epoch as well as the mean time at which this n-th marking occurs. The methodology transforms the transient problem into a stationary one by applying a discrete Erlangization and constructing a reset Markov chain. A fast algorithm, with limited memory usage, that exploits the block structure of the reset Markov chain is developed and is based, among others, on Sylvester matrix equations and fast Fourier transforms. The theory of tree-like processes generalizes the well-known paradigm of Quasi-Birth-Death Markov chains and has various applications. We demonstrate our approach on the celebrated Capetanakis-Tsybakov-Mikhailov (CTM) random access protocol yielding new insights on its initial behavior both in normal and overload conditions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
