Closed Jackson Network
In some applications once a job leaves the network, a new job is immediately released into the network. This type of network can be viewed as having a fixed number of jobs in the network, with no job ever leaving the network and no external job entering the network. In this sense, the network is "closed". It is also referred to as Gordon–Newell network
In closed Jackson network, and are 0 for all i and j., and for each row. Let be the solution to
The solution is not unique so we need to add another equation. For example for some constant or for some .
The equilibrium balance equations are given by:
for all such that . Similarly, define and where and are defined before.

Famous quotes containing the words closed, jackson and/or network:
“What I call middle-class society is any society that becomes rigidified in predetermined forms, forbidding all evolution, all gains, all progress, all discovery. I call middle-class a closed society in which life has no taste, in which the air is tainted, in which ideas and men are corrupt. And I think that a man who takes a stand against this death is in a sense a revolutionary.”
—Frantz Fanon (1925–1961)
“We’ve removed the ceiling above our dreams. There are no more impossible dreams.”
—Jesse Jackson (b. 1941)
“A culture may be conceived as a network of beliefs and purposes in which any string in the net pulls and is pulled by the others, thus perpetually changing the configuration of the whole. If the cultural element called morals takes on a new shape, we must ask what other strings have pulled it out of line. It cannot be one solitary string, nor even the strings nearby, for the network is three-dimensional at least.”
—Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)
