Abstract

We consider a Jackson network with two nodes, with no exogenous input, but instead an infinite supply of work at each of the nodes: Whenever a node is empty, it processes a job from this infinite supply. We obtain an explicit expression for the steady state distribution of this system, as an infinite sum of product forms.
