Fractional derivative in continuous-time Markov processes and applications to epidemics in networks
Continuous-time Markov processes are governed by the Chapman-Kolmogorov differential equation. We show that replacing the standard time derivative of the governing equation with a Caputo fractional derivative of order ...

Tail behavior of conditional sojourn times in Processor-Sharing queues [PDF]
We investigate the tail behavior of the sojourn-time distribution for a request of a given length in an M/G/1 Processor-Sharing (PS) queue. An exponential asymptote is proven for general service times in two special cases: when the traffic load is ...
