Extrapolations in stochastic discrete-event systems
Abstract
We consider an alternative approach for computing the values of performance functions in complicated DES's. The idea is to first compute the values of auxiliary terms, which are related to the performance function in some way. And then we use the values of the auxiliary terms to approximate the values of the performance function in the complicated system. This is done by finding an appropriate function which can use the values of the auxiliary terms to extrapolate the values of the performance function. We consider 3 kinds of extrapolation: (1) Pade approximation, (2) multipoint Pade approximation, (3) sequence transformation. We also consider the quasi-Monte Carlo method for regenerative simulation which will guarantee deterministic bounds needed in extrapolation.
