On the $M_t/M_t/K_t+M_t$ queue in heavy traffic

The focus of this paper is on the asymptotics of large-time numbers of customers in time-periodic Markovian many-server queues with customer abandonment in heavy traffic. Limit theorems are obtained for the periodic number-of-customers processes under the fluid and diffusion scalings. Other results concern limits for general time-dependent queues and for time-homogeneous queues in steady state.

On the Limit Law of a Random Walk Conditioned to Reach a High Level

We consider a random walk with a negative drift and with a jump distribution which under Cramers change of measure belongs to the domain of attraction of a spectrally positive stable law. If conditioned to reach a high level and suitably scaled, this random walk converges in law to a nondecreasing Markov process which can be interpreted as a spectrally-positive Levy %-Khinchin process conditioned not to overshoot level one.
