A Linear Programming Approach to Error Bounds for Random Walks in the Quarter-plane

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

We consider the approximation of the performance of random walks in the quarter-plane. The approximation is in terms of a random walk with a product-form stationary distribution, which is obtained by perturbing the transition probabilities along the boundaries of the state space. A Markov reward approach is used to bound the approximation error. The main contribution of the work is the formulation of a linear program that provides the approximation error.
