Question 4
Consider a birth death model with birth rates in states n = 0, 1, . . .
and death rates in states n = 1, 2, . .
(a) Give the detailed balance conditions for the equilibrium probability of being in
state n, for
n = 0, 1, . . . and explain how they are derived.

(b) Using the detailed balance conditions derive an expression and state any
condition needed to ensure that the equilibrium distribution exists. 


(c) i Now consider the M/M/1 queue with arrival rate λ and service rate µ and
explain how it can
be modelled as a birth death model.
ii. For the M/M/1 queue derive the form of , the equilibrium distribution of
the number of
customers present, and give any conditions needed to ensure the existence
of the
equilibrium distribution. Derive the mean value of the equilibrium
distribution
