We studyasymmetricpolling systems where: (i) the incoming workflow processes follow generalLévy-subordinatorstatistics; and, (ii) the server attends the channels according to the gated service regime, and incurs randominter-dependentswitchover times when moving from one channel to the other. The analysis follows a dynamical-systems approach: a stochasticPoincaré map, governing the one-cycle dynamics of the polling system is introduced, and its statistical characteristics are studied. Explicit formulae regarding the evolution of the mean, covariance, and Laplace transform of the Poincaré map are derived. The forward orbit of the map’s transform – a nonlineardeterministicdynamical system in Laplace space – fully characterizes thestochasticdynamics of the polling system. This enables us to explore the long-term behavior of the system: we prove convergence to a (unique) steady-state equilibrium, prove the equilibrium is stationary, and compute its statistical characteristics.
