title: Joint Burke's Theorem and RSK Representation for a Queue and a Store
keywords: Single server queue, storage model, Burke's theorem, non-colliding random walks, tandem of queues, Robinson-Schensted-Knuth algorithm
abstract: Consider the single server queue with an infinite buffer and a FIFO discipline, either of type
M/M/1
or Geom/Geom/1. Denote by
A
the arrival process and by
s
the services. Assume the stability condition to be satisfied. Denote by
D
the departure process in equilibrium and by
r
the time spent by the customers at the very back of the queue. We prove that
(D,r)
has the same law as
(A,s)
which is an extension of the classical Burke Theorem. In fact,
r
can be viewed as the departures from a dual
storage
model. This duality between the two models also appears when studying the transient behavior of a tandem by means of the RSK algorithm: the first and last row of the resulting semi-standard Young tableau are respectively the last instant of departure in the queue and the total number of departures in the store.

The first source gives you the `gzipped' PostScript, the second the plain PostScript and the third the format for the Adobe accrobat reader. Depending on the installation of your web browser, at least one of these should (after some amount of time) pop up a window for you that shows the full article. If this is not the case, you should contact your system administrator to install your browser correctly.

Due to limitations of your local software, the two formats may show up differently on your screen. If eg you use xpdf to visualize pdf, some of the graphics in the file may not come across. On the other hand, pdf has a capacity of giving links to sections, bibliography and external references that will not appear with PostScript.
