Continuous-time single-server queue

A sample path is represented by cumulative arriving service work Aω(s,t]A_\omega(s,t]Aω​(s,t], assumed finite and nonnegative on bounded intervals and additive across adjacent intervals. The server processes work at unit rate and has an infinite buffer. This aggregate input is the service-time sum ∑nSn1{tn∈(s,t]}\sum_n S_n\mathbf 1\{t_n\in(s,t]\}∑n​Sn​1{tn​∈(s,t]} from the source notes, without choosing an arrival reindexing.

For initial workload α≥0\alpha \ge 0α≥0 at time zero, the transient workload is defined by the reflection formula

Wtα=max⁡{α+Aω(0,t]−t,  sup⁡0≤u≤t(Aω(u,t]−(t−u))}.W_t^\alpha = \max\left\{\alpha + A_\omega(0,t]-t,\; \sup_{0\le u\le t}\bigl(A_\omega(u,t]-(t-u)\bigr)\right\}.Wtα​=max{α+Aω​(0,t]−t,0≤u≤tsup​(Aω​(u,t]−(t−u))}.

The infinite-past workload is

xt∗=sup⁡s≤t(Aω(s,t]−(t−s)).x_t^* = \sup_{s\le t}\bigl(A_\omega(s,t]-(t-s)\bigr).xt∗​=s≤tsup​(Aω​(s,t]−(t−s)).

The offered load ρ\rhoρ is the almost-sure long-run work arrival rate in both time directions. The stationary workload distribution is the pushforward law L(x0∗)\mathcal L(x_0^*)L(x0∗​), and two-time stationarity means that the joint law of (xs1+τ∗,xs2+τ∗)(x_{s_1+\tau}^*,x_{s_2+\tau}^*)(xs1​+τ∗​,xs2​+τ∗​) is invariant under every common shift τ\tauτ.

time zero. The first term represents work descended from the initial condition; the supremum
represents every possible busy period beginning after time zero. -/

stationary workload is an uncountable supremum; standard point-process regularity assumptions
imply it, but proving that fact is logically separate from the stability argument. -/

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions.
