The asymptotic behaviour of the M/G/2 queue is studied. The difference-differential equations for the joint distribution of the number of customers present and of the remaining holding times for services in progress were obtained in Hokstad (1978a) (for M/G/m). In the present paper it is found that the general solution of these equations involves an arbitrary function.In order to decide which of the possible solutions is the answer to the queueing problem one has to consider the singularities of the Laplace transforms involved. When the service time has a rational Laplace transform, a method of obtaining the queue length distribution is outlined. For a couple of examples the explicit form of the generating function of the queue length is obtained.

The many-server queue with service time having rational Laplace transform of order 2 is considered. An expression for the asymptotic queue-length distribution is obtained. A relatively simple formula for the mean queue length is also found. A few numerical results on the mean queue length and on the probability of having to wait are given for the case of three servers. Some approximations for these quantities are also considered.

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

Markov Fluid Queues

In this paper, we study Markov fluid queues where the net fluid rate to a single-buffer system varies with respect to the state of an underlying continuous-time Markov chain. We present a novel algorithmic approach to solve numerically for the steady-state solution of such queues. Using this approach, both infinite- and finite-buffer cases are studied. We show that the solution of the infinite-buffer case is reduced to the solution of a generalized spectral divide-and-conquer (SDC) problem applied on a certain matrix pencil. Moreover, this SDC problem does not require the individual computation of any eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Via the solution for the SDC problem, a matrix-exponential representation for the steady-state queue-length distribution is obtained. The finite-buffer case, on the other hand, requires a similar but different decomposition, the so-called additive decomposition (AD). Using the AD, we obtain a modified matrix-exponential representation for the steady-state queue-length distribution. The proposed approach for the finite-buffer case is shown not to have the numerical stability problems reported in the literature.

This paper studies the transient and steady-state behaviour of a continuous and discrete-time queueing system with non-Markovian type of departure mechanism. The Laplace transforms of the probability generating function of the time-dependent queue length distribution in the transient state are obtained and the probability generating function of the queue length distribution in the steady state is derived therefrom. Finally, some particular cases are discussed.

Basic Equations

We give a unified way of obtaining approximation formulas for the steady-state distribution of the queue length in the M/GI/s queue. The approximations of Hokstad (1978) and Case A of Tijms et al. (1981) are derived again. The main interest of this paper is in considering the theoretical meaning of the assumptions given in the literature. Having done this, we derive new approximation formulas. Our discussion is based on one version of the steady-state equations, called the basic equations in this paper. The basic equations are derived for M/GI/s/k with finite and infinite k. Similar approximations are possible for M/GI/s/k (k < +∞).

Although the M/D/1/N queueing model is well solved from a computational point of view, there is no known analytical expression of the queue length distribution. In this paper, we derive closed-form formulae for the distribution of the number of customers in the system in the finite-capacity M/D/1 queue. We also give an explicit solution for the mean queue length and the average waiting time.
