Note—A Note on the Reversibility and Duality of Some Tandem Blocking Queueing Systems
针对串联阻塞排队系统,提出基于对偶性的新视角,替代原有可逆性证明,更直观地解释原系统与反向系统容量相等的原因。
In a previous paper Yamazaki et al. (Yamazaki, G., T. Kawashima, H. Sakasegawa. 1983. Reversibility of tandem blocking queueing systems. Kogakuin University, Tokyo, Japan.) prove that a certain tandem blocking queueing system and its reversed counterpart have the same capacity (throughput). The purpose of this note is to offer an alternative viewpoint based on a concept of duality. This leads to a more intuitive methodology and provides additional insight into the original and reversed systems.
