A bulk M/G/1 system is considered that responds to large increases (decreases) of the queue during the service act by alternating between two service modes. The switching rule is based on two “up” and “down” thresholds for total arrivals over the service act. A necessary and sufficient condition for the ergodicity of a Markov chain embedded into the main queueing process is found. Both complex-analytic and matrix-analytic solutions are obtained for the steady-state distribution. Under the assumption of the same service time distribution in both modes, a combined complex-matrix-analytic method is introduced. The technique of “matrix unfolding” is used, which reduces the problem to a matrix iteration process with the block size much smaller than in the direct application of the matrix-analytic method.

The author studies an M/G/1 queueing system with multiple vacations. The server is turned off in accordance with the K-limited discipline, and is turned on in accordance with the T-N-hybrid policy. This is to say that the server will begin a vacation from the system if either the queue is empty orKcustomers were served during a busy period. The server idles until it finds at leastNwaiting units upon return from a vacation.Formulas for the distribution generating function and some characteristics of the queueing process are derived. An optimization problem is discussed.

For the E k /G/1 queue with finite waiting room the phase technique is used to analyse the Markov chain imbedded in the queueing process at successive instants at which customers complete service, and the distribution of the busy period, together with the number of customers who arrive, and the number of customers served, during that period, is obtained. The limit as the size of the waiting room becomes infinite is found.

When starting from 0, a standard M/M/k queueing process has a second-order stochastic monotonicity property of a strong kind: its increments are stochastically decreasing (the SDI property). A first attempt to generalize this to the Jackson queueing network fails. This gives us reason to reexamine the underlying theory for stochastic monotonicity of Markov processes starting from a zero-point, in order to find a condition on a function of a Jackson network process to have the SDI property. It turns out that the total number of customers at time t has the desired property, if the network is idle at time O. We use couplings in our analysis; they are also of value in the comparison of two networks with different parameters.

We consider storage models where the input rate and the demand are modulated by a Markov jump process. One particular example from teletraffic theory is a fluid model of a multiplexer loaded by exponential on-off sources. Although the storage level process has been widely studied, little attention has been paid to the output rate process. We will show that, under certain assumptions, there exists another Markov jump process that modulates the output rate. The modulating process is explicitly constructed. It turns out to be a modification of a GI/G/1 queueing process

This paper studies the GI/G/1 queueing system in which no customer can stay longer than a fixed interval D. This is also a model for the dam with finite capacity, instantaneous water supply and constant release rule. Using analytical method together with the property that the queueing process ‘starts anew’ probabilistically whenever an arriving customer initiates a busy period, we obtain various transient and stationary results for the system.

In this paper, some results on the asymptotic behavior of Markov renewal processes with auxiliary paths (MRPAP's) proved in other papers ([28], [29]) are applied to queueing theory. This approach to queueing problems may be regarded as an improvement of the method of Fabens [7] based on the theory of semi-Markov processes. The method of Fabens was also illustrated by Lambotte in [18], [32]. In the present paper the ordinary M/G/1 queue is generalized to allow service times to depend on the queue length immediately after the previous departure. Such models preserve the MRPAP-structure of the ordinary M/G/1 system. Recently, the asymptotic behaviour of the embedded Markov chain (MC) of this queueing model was studied by several authors. One aim of this paper is to answer the question of the relationship between the limiting distribution of the embedded MC and the limiting distribution of the original process with continuous time parameter. It turns out that these two limiting distributions coincide. Moreover some properties of the embedded MC and the embedded semi-Markov process are established. The discussion of the M/G/1 queue closes with a study of the rate-of-convergence at which the queueing process attains equilibrium.

Considered are bulk systems of GI/M/1 type in which the server stands by when it is idle, waits for the first group to arrive if the queue is empty, takes customers up to its capacity and is not available when busy. Distributions of arrival group size and server's capacity are not restricted. The queueing process is analyzed via an augmented imbedded Markov chain. In the general case, the generating function of the steady-state probabilities of the chain is found as a solution of a Riemann boundary value problem. This function is proven to be rational when the generating function of the arrival group size is rational, in which case the solution is given in terms of roots of a characteristic equation. A necessary and sufficient condition of ergodicity is proven in the general case. Several special cases are studied in detail: single arrivals, geometric arrivals, bounded arrivals, and an arrival group with a geometric tail.
