Abstract
Several partial orderings of counting processes are introduced and applied to compare stochastic processes in queueing models. The conditions for the queueing comparisons involve the counting processes associated with the interarrival and service times. The two queueing processes being compared are constructed on the same probability space so that each sample path of one process lies below the corresponding sample path of the other process. Stochastic comparisons between the processes and monotone functionals of the processes follow immediately from this construction. The stochastic comparisons are useful to obtain bounds for intractable systems. For example, the approach here yields bounds for queues with time-dependent arrival rates.
