“…Among them we can highlight the supplementary variable technique, introduced in 1955 by Cox [1], due to the fact that this technique outperforms imbedded Markov chains in the steady-state case. The supplementary variable technique was firstly applied in Gaver [2]; subsequently, other authors, such as Linton [3], Goel et al [4], Gupta and Sharma [5], Shi and Li [6], Chung [7], Yuan [8], Dhillon and Cheng [9], Ram et al [10], Zhang and Wang [11], Ke et al [12], followed this line of research.…”
