Lord Kelvin and Andrey Andreyevich Markov in a Queue with Single Server

We use Lord Kelvin's method of images to show that a certain infinite system of equations with interesting boundary conditions leads to a Markovian dynamics in an L^1-type space. This system originates from the queuing theory.

Keywords

queue; method of images; generation theorem; boundary conditions; Markovian dynamics.
