Abstract :
The commenter claims that the efficient solution technique of M. Alam and V. Mani (see ibid., vol.37, p.427-433, Oct. 1988) is easier to derive and generalize in matrix notation. The authors demonstrated that this technique is a matrix analog of the solution technique for the M/M/1/N queue.<>
