%% Closed Queueing Network: CTMC (SPN) vs NC Solver Comparison
%
% This example demonstrates:
% - Single-class closed queueing network (product-form)
% - Solves the same model two different ways:
%   1. Traditional QN approach: solved with NC (Normalizing Constant) solver
%   2. SPN approach: same network modeled as Petri Net, solved with CTMC
% - Verifies that both approaches give identical results
% - Demonstrates CTMC's capability on Petri Net models
%
% Network Configuration:
% - Population: N=3 jobs circulating continuously
% - Station 1: Queue (FCFS, μ₁=1.0)
% - Station 2: Queue (FCFS, μ₂=0.8)
% - Station 3: Delay (think time, mean=2.0)
% - Routing: 1 → 2 → 3 → 1 (cycle)
%
% This is product-form under Jackson's theorem:
% - FCFS disciplines
% - Exponential service times
% - Single job class
% - Product-form solution: π(n₁,n₂,n₃) = π₁(n₁)π₂(n₂)π₃(n₃)
