Aim/Purpose: How does heterogeneous valuation of service affect optimal control of queues? Background We analyze this heterogeneity by adding a component of travel costs, which differ with distance from the service point. Methodology: Mathematical analysis of queuing theory. Analyzing the anarchy function. Contribution: Enabling consumers to make optimal choices based on knowledge about their status, and enabling better control of the organizer. Findings: In the arrival rate is bounded, there is no need of interference. If it is unbounded then in many cases the organizer should impose the socially optimal queue length. Recommendations for Practitioners: In the arrival rate is bounded, there is no need of interference. If it is unbounded then in many cases the organizer should impose the socially optimal queue length. Recommendations for Researchers: Explore the following points: What happens when there are more than one server, located at different point. How should consumers behave, and what is the best way to locate service points. Impact on Society: Handling queues taking into account social welfare. Future Research: What happens when there are more than one server, located at different point. How should consumers behave, and what is the best way to locate service points.

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.

In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of the tail of the stationary backlog distribution in a single server queue with constant service capacity c, fed by the so-called M/G/∞ input process or Cox input process. Asymptotic lower bounds are obtained for any distribution G and asymptotic upper bounds are derived when G is a subexponential distribution. We find the bounds to be tight in some instances, e.g. when G corresponds to either the Pareto or lognormal distribution and c − ρ < 1, where ρ is the arrival rate at the buffer.

Consider a single-server queue with zero buffer. The arrival process is a three-level Markov modulated Poisson process with an arbitrary transition matrix. The time the system remains at level i (i = 1, 2, 3) is exponentially distributed with rate cα i. The arrival rate at level i is λ i and the service time is exponentially distributed with rate μ i. In this paper we first derive an explicit formula for the loss probability and then prove that it is decreasing in the parameter c. This proves a conjecture of Ross and Rolski's for a single-server queue with zero buffer.

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.
