Abstract

An algorithm is proposed for the design of a class of Markovian congestion systems. The class is characterized by almost triangular transition matrices. A feature of the algorithm is that it does not utilize closed-form expressions for the steady-state behavior of the system. Convergence is discussed, and the results of numerical experimentation are provided. A behavioral result is also obtained for this class of systems.
