A Markov decision chain with denumerable state space incurs two types of costs — for example, an operating cost and a holding cost. The objective is to minimize the expected average operating cost, subject to a constraint on the expected average holding cost. We prove the existence of an optimal constrained randomized stationary policy, for which the two stationary policies differ on at most one state. The examples treated are a packet communication system with reject option and a single-server queue with service rate control.

In [4], the limiting behaviour of a stochastic system with two types of input was investigated by reducing the problem to the solution of an integral equation. In this note we use the same approach to study the equilibrium waiting time problem for the general single server queue with preemptive service interruptions. (For a comprehensive account of the existing literature on queues with service interruptions we refer to [2] and [3].)

In this paper a problem arising in queueing and dam theory is studied. We shall consider a G/G*/1 queueing model, i.e., a G/G/1 queueing model of which the service process is a separable centered process with stationary independent increments. This is a generalisation of the well-known G/G/1 model with constant service rate. Several results concerning the amount of work done by the server, the busy cycles etc., are derived, mainly using the well-known method of Pollaczek. Emphasis is laid on the similarities and dissimilarities between the results of the ‘classical’ G/G/1 model and the G/G*/1 model.

This paper develops moment formulas for asymptotic workload and waiting time in a single-server queue with periodic Poisson input and general service distribution. These formulas involve the corresponding moments of waiting-time (workload) for the M/G/1 system with the same average arrival rate and service distribution. In certain cases, all the terms in the formulas can be computed exactly, including moments of workload at each ‘time of day.' The approach makes use of an asymptotic version of the Takács [12] integro-differential equation, together with representation results of Harrison and Lemoine [3] and Lemoine [6].

This paper considers a single-server queue with Poisson arrivals and multiple customer feedbacks. If the first service attempt of a newly arriving customer is not successful, he returns to the end of the queue for another service attempt, with a different service time distribution. He keeps trying in this manner (as an ‘old' customer) until his service is successful. The server operates according to the ‘gated vacation' strategy; when it returns from a vacation to find K (new and old) customers, it renders a single service attempt to each of them and takes another vacation, etc. We study the joint queue length process of new and old customers, as well as the waiting time distribution of customers. Some extensions are also discussed.

This study has examined the performance of University transport bus shuttle based on utilization using a Single-server queue system which occur if arrival and service rate is Poisson distributed (single queue) (M/M/1) queue. In the methodology, Single-server queue system was modelled based on Poisson Process with the introduction of Laplace Transform. It is concluded that the performance of University transport bus shuttle is 96.6 percent which indicates a very good performance such that the supply of shuttle bus in FUTA is capable of meeting the demand.
