Abstract :
We study the convergence properties of some rational approximants for stochastic discrete event systems. Examples of the systems considered include computer/communication systems and general distributed and parallel processing systems. Difficulties often arise in the analysis for such systems due to the so-called “curse of dimensionality” in calculating some integer-parametered functions, where the integer parameter represents the system size or dimension. Our basic idea is to develop global approximants for such functions by exploring the properties of the systems. We analyze the convergence rates exhibited in examples given by Gong and Yang (1993)
