Abstract

In this paper we develop a cyclic regenerative method of simulation. As an example of its application, we consider a single server queuing system with N-control policy of Heyman. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the ability of this method to reduce the variance of the estimate over that of the traditional regenerative method of simulation.
