We analyze an s,S inventory with positive service time and retrial of demands by considering the inventory as servers of a multiserver queuing system. Demands arrive according to a Poisson process and service time distribution is exponential. On each service completion, the number of demands in the system as well as the number of inventories (servers) is reduced by one. When all servers are busy, new arrivals join an orbit from which they try to access the service at an exponential rate. Using matrix geometric methods the steady state joint distribution of the demands and inventory has been analyzed and a numerical illustration is given.

AbstractWe present the first algorithm that samples maxn≥0{Sn − nα}, where Sn is a mean zero random walk, and nα with $\alpha \in ({1 \over 2},1)$ defines a nonlinear boundary. We show that our algorithm has finite expected running time. We also apply this algorithm to construct the first exact simulation method for the steady-state departure process of a GI/GI/∞ queue where the service time distribution has infinite mean.

We present some non-stationary infinite-server queueing systems with stationary Poisson departure processes. In Foley (1982), it was shown that the departure process from the Mt/Gt/∞ queue was a Poisson process, possibly non-stationary. The Mt/Gt/∞ queue is an infinite-server queue with a stationary or non-stationary Poisson arrival process and a general server in which the service time of a customer may depend upon the customer's arrival time. Mirasol (1963) pointed out that the departure process from the M/G/∞ queue is a stationary Poisson process. The question arose whether there are any other Mt/Gt/∞ queueing systems with stationary Poisson departure processes. For example, if the arrival rate is periodic, is it possible to select the service-time distribution functions to fluctuate in order to compensate for the fluctuations of the arrival rate? In this situation and in more general situations, it is possible to select the server such that the system yields a stationary Poisson departure process.

We study the expected time for the work in an M/G/1 system to exceed the level x, given that it started out initially empty, and show that it can be expressed solely in terms of the Poisson arrival rate, the service time distribution and the stationary delay distribution of the M/G/1 system. We use this result to construct an efficient simulation procedure.

In a previous paper (Dagsvik (1975)) the waiting time process of the single server bulk queue is considered and a corresponding waiting time equation is established. In this paper the waiting time equation is solved when the inter-arrival or service time distribution is a linear combination of Erlang distributions. The analysis is essentially based on algebraic arguments.

For a particular kind of finite-server loss system in which the number and identity of servers depends on the type of the arriving call and on the state of the system, the limits of the state probabilities (as t → ∞) are found for an arbitrary service-time distribution.
