On Modification of Regenerative Splitting for Embedded Markov chain

Alexandra V. Borodina (Karelian Research Center RAS and Petrozavodsk University, Russia)

We consider the problem of speed-up simulation of stationary probability , where is stationary and regenerative queue-size process. For large level L this probability ought to be small (about 10-20 and lower).

For small probability simulation we use some new technique which includs regeneration method advantages and idea of splitting the trajec- tories of the process.

In the case of nonmarkovian process we have some uncomplited servece time at the splitting moment. As a consequence, this fact can give some reason for increase in variation. To avoid this situation in the queue M/G/1 we have applied the embedded Markov chain method.

Results of experiments have confirmed the assumption of variance reduction, iven for subexponential service time distribution.
