Abstract

In this paper we introduce a general class of level dependent Quasi-Birth-and-Death (QBD) processes and their stationary solution. We obtain the complete characterization of their fundamental matrices in terms of minimal non-negative solution of number of matrix quadratic equations. Our results will provide mixed-geometric solution for the stationary solution of level dependent chains. Applications in overload control in communication networks are also discussed.
