We consider a single server system accepting two types of retrial customers, which arrive according to two independent Poisson streams. The service station can handle at most one customer, and in case of blocking, typeicustomer,i=1, 2, is routed to a separate typeiorbit queue of infinite capacity. Customers from the orbits try to access the server according to the constant retrial policy. We consider coupled orbit queues, and thus, when both orbit queues are non-empty, the orbit queueitries to re-dispatch a blocked customer of typeito the main service station after an exponentially distributed time with rate μi. If an orbit queue empties, the other orbit queue changes its re-dispatch rate from μito$\mu_{i}^{\ast}$. We consider both exponential and arbitrary distributed service requirements, and show that the probability generating function of the joint stationary orbit queue length distribution can be determined using the theory of Riemann (–Hilbert) boundary value problems. For exponential service requirements, we also investigate the exact tail asymptotic behavior of the stationary joint probability distribution of the two orbits with either an idle or a busy server by using the kernel method. Performance metrics are obtained, computational issues are discussed and a simple numerical example is presented.

This paper deals with a single-server discrete-time Geo/G/1 queueing model with Bernoulli feedback and N-policy where the server leaves for modified multiple vacations once the system becomes empty. Applying the law of probability decomposition, the renewal theory and the probability generating function technique, we explicitly derive the transient queue length distribution as well as the recursive expressions of the steady-state queue length distribution. Especially, some corresponding results under special cases are directly obtained. Furthermore, some numerical results are provided for illustrative purposes. Finally, a cost optimization problem is numerically analyzed under a given cost structure.

Based on priority differentiation and efficiency of the system, we consider anN+1queues’ single-server two-level polling system which consists of one key queue andNnormal queues. The novel contribution of the present paper is that we consider that the server just polls active queues with customers waiting in the queue. Furthermore, key queue is served with exhaustive service and normal queues are served with 1-limited service in a parallel scheduling. For this model, we derive an expression for the probability generating function of the joint queue length distribution at polling epochs. Based on these results, we derive the explicit closed-form expressions for the mean waiting time. Numerical examples demonstrate that theoretical and simulation results are identical and the new system is efficient both at key queue and normal queues.

Consider the single server queue in which the system capacity is infinite and the customers are served on a first come, first served basis. Suppose the probability density functionf(t)and the cumulative distribution functionF(t)of the interarrival time are such that the ratef(t)/1-F(t)tends to a constant ast→∞, and the rate computed from the distribution of the service time tends to another constant. When the queue is in a stationary state, we derive a set of equations for the probabilities of the queue length and the states of the arrival and service processes. Solving the equations, we obtain approximate results for the stationary probabilities which can be used to obtain the stationary queue length distribution and waiting time distribution of a customer who arrives when the queue is in the stationary state.

We consider a multiserver queue in the Halfin-Whitt regime: as the number of serversngrows without a bound, the utilization approaches 1 from below at the rateAssuming that the service time distribution is lattice valued with a finite support, we characterize the limiting scaled stationary queue length distribution in terms of the stationary distribution of an explicitly constructed Markov chain. Furthermore, we obtain an explicit expression for the critical exponent for the moment generating function of a limiting stationary queue length. This exponent has a compact representation in terms of three parameters: the amount of spare capacity and the coefficients of variation of interarrival and service times. Interestingly, it matches an analogous exponent corresponding to a single-server queue in the conventional heavy-traffic regime.

Given a sequence of bounded random variables that satisfies a well-known mixing condition, it is shown that empirical estimates of the rate function for the partial sums process satisfy the large deviation principle in the space of convex functions equipped with the Attouch-Wets topology. As an application, a large deviation principle for estimating the exponent in the tail of the queue length distribution at a single-server queue with infinite waiting space is proved.

Fixed-cycle traffic light queues have been investigated by probabilistic methods by many authors. Beckmann, McGuire and Winsten (1956) considered a discrete time queueing model with binomial arrivals and regular departure headways and derived a relation between the stationary mean delay per vehicle and the stationary mean queue-length at the beginning of a red period of the traffic light. Haight (1959) and Buckley and Wheeler (1964) considered models with Poisson arrivals and regular departure headways and investigated certain properties of the queue-length. Newell (1960) dealt with the model proposed by the first authors and obtained the probability generating function of the stationary queue-length distribution. Darroch (1964) discussed a more general discrete time model with stationary, independent arrivals and regular departure headways and derived a necessary and sufficient condition for the stationary queue-length distribution to exist and obtained its probability generating function. The above two authors, Little (1961), Miller (1963), Newell (1965), McNeil (1968), Siskind (1970) and others gave approximate expressions for the stationary mean delay per vehicle for fixed-cycle traffic light queues of various types. All of the authors mentioned above dealt with the queue-length.

This communication provides an explicit expression for the joint probability of exactly i arrivals and j service completions in a duration of length t for the simple queue. The impossibility of a similar expression for the queue-length distribution is explained.

AbstractWe treat a single-server vacation queue with queue-length dependent vacation schedules. This subsumes the single-server vacation queue with exhaustive service discipline and the vacation queue with Bernoulli schedule as special cases. The lengths of vacation times depend on the number of customers in the system at the beginning of a vacation. The arrival process is a batch-Markovian arrival process (BMAP). We derive the queue-length distribution at departure epochs. By using a semi-Markov process technique, we obtain the Laplace-Stieltjes transform of the transient queue-length distribution at an arbitrary time point and its limiting distribution

A mathematical modelling of a continuous review stochastic inventory system with a single server is carried out in this work. We assume that demand time points form a Poisson process. The life time of each item is assumed to have exponential distribution. We assume(s,S)ordering policy to replenish stock with random lead time. The server goes for a vacation of an exponentially distributed duration at the time of stock depletion and may take subsequent vacation depending on the stock position. The customer who arrives during the stock-out period or during the server vacation is offered a choice of joining a pool which is of finite capacity or leaving the system. The demands in the pool are selected one by one by the server only when the inventory level is aboves, with interval time between any two successive selections distributed as exponential with parameter depending on the number of customers in the pool. The joint probability distribution of the inventory level and the number of customers in the pool is obtained in the steady-state case. Various system performance measures in the steady state are derived, and the long-run total expected cost rate is calculated.
