Abstract

We prove necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of the stationary solution of the queueing networks (G-networks) with negative and positive customers introduced in Gelenbe [3], which have been shown to have product form. First, the existence of the solution of the nonlinear customer flow equations is established using Brouwer's fixed-point theorem; this result is valid for stable and unstable systems, as well as for certain networks that may not have product form. Then, the result is used to establish general stability related to the usual “load factor less than 1” criterion of queueing systems for G-networks with product form.
