Extraction of exact symbolic stationary probability formulas for Markov chains with finite space with application to production lines. Part I: description of methodology by Konstantinos S. Boulas, Georgios D. Dounias, Chrissoleon T. Papadopoulos

“…IntroductionMarkov chains are a powerful tool for modeling systems in various scientific domains, including queueing theory. These models are characterized by their ability to maintain complexity at a low level due to a property known as the Markov property, which enables the connection between states and transition probabilities. …”
