Abstract

In this paper, we provide convergence analysis for a class of Brownian queues in tandem by establishing an exponential drift condition. A consequence is uniform exponential ergodicity for these multidimensional diffusions, including the O’Connell–Yor process. A list of open problems is also presented.
