Abstract

We derive explicit formulas for the second moments of the absorption time matrices in the Markov renewal branching process. These formulas may easily be computationally implemented and are useful in the iterative computation of the semi-Markov matrices, which give the distributions of the duration and of the number of customers served in a busy period of a great variety of complex queueing models.
