Discrete Event Simulation (DES) is the industry standard for modeling systems where state changes occur at specific, distinct points in time—like customers arriving at a bank or parts moving through a factory line. While powerful, traditional DES relies on randomness and Monte Carlo methods, which can require thousands of runs to achieve high precision.

In traditional DES, the system "jumps" from one event to the next, skipping over periods of inactivity. However, when high-level precision or equilibrium analysis is required, simulation can be computationally expensive and noisy. Numerical methods offer a path to find transient and equilibrium probabilities directly. Top Numerical Approaches for Discrete Event Systems Discrete Event Simulation (DES) is the industry standard
