We let N go to infinity.We prove a functional central limit theorem (CLT) for the tails of the empirical measures of the queue occupations,in a Hilbert space with the weak topology, with limit given by an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. The a priori assumption is that the initial data converge.This completes a recent functional CLT in equilibrium result for which convergence for the initial data was not known in advance, but was deduced a posteriori from the functional CLT.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2004-03-31T13:13:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60K35", "60K25" ], "keywords": [ "equilibrium functional central limit theorems", "large network", "customers join", "single server infinite buffer queues" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2003math.....12335G" } } }
