This is a textbook focusing on matrix-analytic methods. In this book, the basic theory is accompanied by a large number of examples and exercises. The book is suitable for senior undergraduates and graduate students in science, engineering, management, business, and finance. In addition, a number of recent developments are collected. Thus, the book can also be of value to researchers and practitioners. Marcel F. Neuts pioneered matrix-analytic methods in the study of queueing models in the 1970s. Since then, matrix-analytic methods have become an indispensable tool in stochastic modeling and have found applications in the analysis and design of manufacturing systems, telecommunications networks, risk/insurance models, reliability models, and inventory and supply chain systems. The power and popularity of matrix-analytic methods come from their flexibility in stochastic modeling, capacity for analytic exploration, natural algorithmic thinking, and tractability in numerical computation.
