Analysis of Queueing Systems with an Infinite Number of Servers and a Small Parameter S. A. Vasilyev, G. O. Tsareva
In this paper we consider the dynamics of large-scale queueing systems with an infinite number of servers. We assume that there is a Poisson input flow of requests with intensity NX. We suppose that each incoming request selects two any servers randomly and at the next step of an algorithm is sending this request to the server with the shorter queue instantly. A share Uk (t) of the servers that have the queues lengths with not less than k can be described using a system of ordinary differential equations of infinite order. We investigate this system of ordinary differential equations of infinite order with a small real parameter. A small real parameter allows us to describe the processes of rapid changes in large-scale queueing systems. We use the simulation methods for this large-scale queueing systems analysis. The numerical simulation show that the solution of the singularly perturbed systems of differential equations have an area of rapid change of the solutions, which is usually located in the initial point of the problem. This area of rapid function change is called the area of the mathematical boundary layer. The thickness of the boundary layer depends on the value of a small parameter, and when the small parameter decreases, the thickness of the boundary layer decreases. The paper presents the numerical examples of the existence of steady state conditions for evolutions Ui(t) and quasi-periodic conditions with boundary layers for evolutions Ui(t).

The current study of service networks with complex sending discipline in [1-3] transport networks [4-6] and the asymptotic behavior of Jackson networks [7] handled with the problematic of verifying the global convergence of the solutions of certain infinite systems of ordinary differential equations to a time-independent solution. In [8] the countable systems of differential equations with bounded Jacobi operators are studied and the necessary settings of global stability and global asymptotic stability was found. In [9] an infinite-server queuing system with a doubly stochastic Poisson input flow is considered. Assuming that the service time does not have expectation, limit theorems for the number of occupied servers is proven. As a consequence, limit theorems for systems is obtained in which the input flow intensity is a regenerative process. In [10] an infinite-server queueing system where customers come by groups of random size at random i.d. intervals of time is considered. Assuming that the number of requests in a group and intervals between their arrivals can be dependent, service times have a regularly varying distribution with infinite mean. Limit theorems for the number of customers in the system and prove limit theorems under appropriate normalizations are considered. In papers [11-13] the authors built various models of queueing systems and considered their dynamics.
In paper [14] we examined the singular perturbed structures of ordinary differential equations of infinite order of Tikhonov-type

In this paper we apply Dobrushin approaches from [1-3]. We consider the dynamics of large-scale queueing systems that consist of infinite number of servers with a Poisson input flow of requests of intensity NX. We can use an algorithm that selects two any servers for each incoming request and sent it to one of the servers with the shorter queue instantly. We suppose that service time has mean 1/j with exponential distribution. In this case a share Uk (t) of the servers that have the queues lengths with not less than k can be described using a system of ordinary differential equations of infinite order. We investigate this system of ordinary differential equations of infinite order with a small real parameter. A small real parameter allows us to describe the processes of rapid changes in large-scale queueing systems. Tikhonov type Cauchy problem for this system with small parameter and initial conditions is investigated.
We investigate the truncation system of this ordinary differential equations of infinite order with a small real parameter order N. Tikhonov type Cauchy problem for this truncation system with small parameter and initial conditions is used for the simulation of behavior solutions and for analysis of large-scale queueing systems with taking into account parameters X, j, .
1. Queueing Systems with Infinite Number of Servers
The basic model considered there is a queueing system Sn , with N identical infinite-buffer FCFS (First-Come, First-Served) single-servers, with a Poisson arrival flow of rate NX and with i.i.d. exponential service times of mean 1/j, where 0 < X < j. Upon its arrival each task chooses m servers at random (i.e., independently of the pre-history of the queueing system (QS) and with probability 1/(Nm)) and then selects, among the chosen ones, the server with the lowest queue-size, i.e., the lowest number of tasks in the buffer (including the task in service). If there happen to be more than one server with lowest queue-size, the task selects one of them randomly.
One is interested in the "typical" behavior of a server in Sn , as N ^ ro. Formally, it means that Vt > 0 and k = 0,1,..., we consider the fraction qk(t) = Mk(t)/N where Mk(t) is the (random) number of servers with the queue-size k at time t. Clearly, 0 < qk (t) < 1, YhkQk(t) = 1; and Q(t) = (qk(t)), t > 0, forms a Markov process (MP). Technically, it is more convenient to pass to the tail probabilities rk (t) = Y1 j>k Qk (t); the state space of the corresponding MP Un(t) = (fk(t)),t > 0, is the set U« of non-increasing non-negative sequences u = (uk, k = 0,1,...) with u0 = 1, Y1 k>1 Uk < ro and with the Uk's multiple of 1/N, which implies that Uk = 0 for all k large enough. It is convenient to prolong the sequences u G U« to the negative k's by the value 1.
The generator of {Un(t)} is an operator A acting on functions f : Us ^ C1 and given by
ANf (u) = N £ (uk - uk+i) [f (u - N - /(u))"
k>0
+ XN £ ((ufc-i)2 - (uk)2) [f (u + N - /(u))] . (1)
k>0
Here, efc stands for the sequence with the k-th entry 1 and all others 0, the addition of the sequences is componentwise. Process {Un(t)} is positive-recurrent and thus possesses a unique invariant distribution, kn; given any initial distribution w, the distribution of Un(t) approaches kn as t ^ ro. The main result of [1] is that, as N ^ ro, the expected
value E.Knrk(t) converges to the value {ak}, where
(mk-1)/(m-1)
ak = (^ , k > 0. (2)
Pictorially speaking, it means that, as N ^ to, an "average" server in the QS will have k or more tasks in the buffer with probability ak.
It is interesting to compare Sv with another queueing system L, where the arriving task chooses the server completely randomly (i.e., independently of the pre-history and with probability 1/N). Clearly, L is equivalent to an isolated m/m/to queue with the arrival and service rates A and ¡i, respectively, which justifies omitting subscript N in this notation. More precisely, the average server in L will have k or more tasks in the buffer with the geometrical probability
"k = (• 4 > 1 (3)
(independently of N), which is much larger than ak.
In fact, as was shown in [1], the whole process {Uv(t)} is asymptotically deterministic as N ^ to. More precisely, let U denote the set of the non-increasing non-negative sequences u = (uk, k G Z) with uk = 1 for k < 0 and ^2k^°uk < TO.Then, if the distribution w of initial state Uv (0) approaches a Dirac delta-measure concentrated at a point g = {gk} G U, the distribution of {Uv(t)} is concentrated in the limit at the "trajectory" u(i) = {uk(t)}, t > 0, giving the solution to the following system of differential equations
(itk(t) = » (uk+1 (t) - uk(t)) + A ((uk-i(t))2 — (uk(t))2) , (4)
|uo(i) = 0,Uk (0) = gk > 0, k = 1,2,..., t^ 0, ()
where g = {gkis a numerical sequence (1 = g1, gk > gk+1, k = 1,2,...) [1]. Point a = ( ak) (see (2)) is a (unique) fixed point for system (4) in U.
These results illustrate the essence of the mean-field approximation for QS Sv. Equations (4) describe a "self-compatible" evolution of vector u(i), or, equivalently, of the probability distribution q(i) = {qk(t)} defined by qk(t) = uk(t) — uk+1 (t), t > 0, k = 0,1,.... As before, u(i) is simply the sequence of the tail probabilities for q(i).
We can compare system (4) with the linear system
Vk(i) = M (Vk+1 (i) — Vk(t)) + X (yk-1(t) — Vk(t)), (5)
(where k > 1) describing the evolution of the probability distribution q°(t) = (q°(t), q°(t) = yk(t) — yk+1(t)) in a standard M/M/1/to queue with the arrival and service rates A and ¡i, respectively. The ^-terms in (4) and (5) are the same; they correspond with the departure of the tasks and 'push' the probability mass in q(i) and q(0) (t) towards k = 0. On the other hand, the A-terms (different in both SQ) correspond with the arrival of the tasks; these terms shift the probability mass to larger k's. The A-term in (4) is smaller than the one in (5) when uk (t) is small; pictorially speaking, system (4) provides (for the same values of A and y) more "protection", for large k, against the shift to the right, which may lead to an "explosion", when the relation J2k>1 uk(t) < to or ^2k>1 yk(t) < to may fail as t ^ to. Because of this, the entries ak of sequence a (see (2)) giving the fixed point of (4) decrease "super-exponentially", in contrast with the exponential decay of the tail probabilities in the fixed point a° = (ak) of (5).
2. Queueing Systems with Infinite Number of Servers and a Small Parameter
Let's consider a system that consists of N servers with a Poisson input flow of requests of intensity NX. Each request arriving to the system randomly selects two servers and is instantly sent to the one with the shorter queue. The service time is distributed exponentially with mean i = 1/j. Let Uk(t) be a share servers that have the queues lengths with not less than k. It is possible to investigate the asymptotic distribution of the queue lengths as N ^ ro and X < 1 [1]. The considered system of the servers is described by ergodic Markov chain. There is a stationary probability distribution for the states of the system and if N ^ ro the evolution of the values Uk (t) becomes deterministic and the Markov chain asymptotically converges to a dynamic system the evolution of which is described by system of ordinary differential equations of infinite order
Jfc(t) = J (Uk+i(t) - Uk(t)) + X ((Ufc_i(i))2 - (Uk(t))2) . (6)
For this system of ordinary differential equations of infinite order we can formulate Cauchy problem in the form
(uk(t) = j (Ufc+i(t) - Uk(t)) + X ((Uk_i(t))2 - (Uk(t))2) ,
[Uo(i) = 0, Uk (0) = gk > 0, k = 1,2,..., t^ 0, ()
where g = {gkis a numerical sequence (1 = gi, gk > gk+i, k = 1,2,...) [1].
We can investigate Cauchy problem for system of ordinary differential equations of infinite order with small parameter such form
(U k (t) = J (Ufc+i (t) - Uk (t)) + X ((Ufc_i(i))2 - (Ufc (t))2) , k = 0,1,...,n - 1,
(8)
Un(t) = j (Un+i(t) - Un(t)) + X ((Un_i(t))2 - (Un(t))2) ,
d'jfc (t) = j (Ufc+i (t) - Ufc (t)) + X {(Ufc_i(t))2 - (Ufc (t))2) , k = n +1,..., Ufc (0) = gfc > 0, k = 0,1, 2,...,n, Ufc (0) = gfc > 0, k = n +1,...,
where > 0 is a small parameter that bring a singular perturbation to the system (7), which allows us to describe the processes of rapid change of the systems.
3. Queueing Systems with Finite Number of Servers and a
Small Parameter
Using (8) we can rewrite system of differential equations of order N in the form
( U fc(t) = j (Ufc+i (t) - Ufc (t)) + X ((Ufc_i (t))2 - (Ufc (t))2), k = 0,1,...,n - 1, I Un(t) = j (Un+i(t) -Un(t)) + X (0Un_i(t))2 - (Un(t))2) , (9)
{ eJJfc(t) = j (Ufc+i(t) - Ufc (t)) + X ((Ufc_i(t))2 - (Ufc(t))2) , k = n + 1,...,N.
For this truncation system of ordinary differential equations of order N we can formulate Cauchy problem in the form
(U fc (t) = j (Ufc+i(t) - Ufc (t)) + X ((Ufc_i(t))2 - (Ufc (t))2) , k = 0,1,...,n - 1, Un(t) = j (Un+i(t) - Un(t)) + X ((Un_i(t))2 - (Un(t))2) , eUfc (t) = j (Ufc+i(t) - Ufc (t)) + X ((Ufc_i(t))2 - (Ufc (t))2) , k = n + 1,...,N, Ufc (0) = gfc > 0, k = 0,1, 2,...,n, Ufc (0) = gfc > 0, k = n +1,...,N.
The numerical analysis was carried out using the adaptive step Runge-Kutta integration method, which is one of the most commonly used methods for the numerical solution of the singularly perturbed system of differential equations.
The numerical example is presented in the figure (see Fig. 1, 2) where n = 7, N = 10, A = 0.5, ^ = 1.0, g° = 1, gk = 1 — 0.1k, k = 0,9 and a small parameter e = 0.1 (Fig. 1), e = 0.01 (Fig. 2), e = 0.001 (Fig. 3). In these numerical examples we can see the existence of regularly perturbed solutions ui(t), i = 0,5 and singularly perturbed solutions ui(t), i = 6,10 with boundary layers.

The numerical simulation shows that the solution of the singularly perturbed systems of differential equations have an area of rapid change of the function, which is usually located in the initial point of the problem. This area of rapid function change is called the area of the mathematical boundary layer. The thickness of the boundary layer depends on the value of a small parameter, and when the small parameter decreases, the thickness of the boundary layer decreases. The integration area is divided into external (outside the boundary layer) and internal (inside the boundary layer). The solution of the singularly perturbed equation is sought in the form of a solution suitable for the outer domain, which is then refined in the vicinity of the boundary point where the boundary layer is located. The numerical examples have shown the existence of regularly perturbed solutions and singularly perturbed solutions with boundary layers for evolutions Ui(t).
Conclusions
We investigate the dynamics of large-scale queueing systems that consists of infinite number of servers with a Poisson input flow of requests of intensity NX. Each request arriving to the system randomly selects two servers and this request is instantly sent to the one with the shorter queue. We suppose that service time has mean 1/^ with exponential distribution. In this case a share Uk (t) of the servers that have the queues lengths with not less than k can be described using a system of differential equations of infinite order. Tikhonov type Cauchy problem for this system with small parameter e. Tikhonov type Cauchy problem for this system with small parameter e and initial conditions is investigated. We use the simulation methods for behavior solutions analysis with taking into account parameters A, fj,, e. The numerical examples have shown the existence of steady state conditions for queueing systems with an infinite number of servers and singularly perturbed conditions with boundary layers for evolutions Ui(t) with a small parameter.

В данной работе рассматривается динамика крупномасштабных систем массового обслуживания с бесконечным числом обслуживающих приборов. Предполагается, что имеется входящий пуассоновский поток заявок с интенсивностью МХ. Также предполагается, что каждая заявка, попав в систему, выбирает два произвольных прибора случайным образом и выбирает для обслуживания прибор с более короткой очередью. Доля и^ (¿) приборов с длиной очереди не менее чем к можно описать с помощью системы обыкновенных дифференциальных уравнений бесконечного порядка. Предполагается, что эта система обыкновенных
дифференциальных уравнений бесконечного порядка с малым вещественным параметром, который позволяет описать процессы быстрых изменений в системах массового обслуживания. В этой работе используются методы численного моделирования для анализа такого класса систем массового обслуживания. Численный анализ показал, что решение рассматриваемых сингулярно возмущенных систем дифференциальных уравнения имеют область быстрого изменения решений, которая находится в начальной области интегрирования задачи. Эта зона быстрого изменения решений называется областью пограничного слоя. Толщина пограничного слоя зависит от величины малого параметра, и когда малый параметр уменьшается, то толщина пограничного слоя также уменьшается. В работе приведены численные примеры существования стационарных состояний для эволюции решений Иг(^), а также решения с пограничными слоями.
