The service system considered in this chapter is characterized by an unreliable server. Random breakdowns occur on the server and the repair may not be immediate. The authors assume the possibility that the server may take a vacation at the end of a given service completion. The server resumes operation according to T-policy to check if enough customers have arrived while he was away. The actual service of any arrival takes place in two consecutive phases. Both service phases are independent of each other. A Markov chain approach is used to obtain the steady state system size probabilities and different performance measures. The optimal value of the threshold level is obtained analytically.

This work presents the first systematic analysis of the whole swaption matrix by fitting a parsimonious, nonlinear, financially-inspired volatility model to market data. The study uses several years of data spanning period of major market volatility. We find that the quality of the fits is good (on average of the same magnitude as the bid-offer spread), and better when a displaced-diffusion approach is chosen, but some systematic shortcomings are observed and discussed. The analysis suggests that a two-regime Markov chain approach may be more successful and better financially motivated. More generally, the present study highlights the shortcomings of purely time-dependent or time-homogenous approaches. These findings should be applicable to other option markets as well. Finally, we find that the present (nonlinear) model vastly outperforms PCA-based approaches when in comes to predicting moves in implied volatilities.
