SummaryThis paper considers a generalisation of the queueing system M/G/I, where customers arriving at empty and non-empty queues have different service time distributions. The characteristic function (c.f.) of the stationary waiting time distribution and the probability generating function (p.g.f.) of the queue size are obtained. The busy period distribution is found; the results are generalised to an Erlangian inter-arrival distribution; the time-dependent problem is considered, and finally a special case of server absenteeism is discussed.

In the queueing theory, the interarrival times between customers and the service times for customers are usually regarded as random variables. This paper considers human uncertainty in a queueing system, and proposes an uncertain queueing model in which the interarrival times and the service times are regarded as uncertain variables. The busyness index is derived analytically which indicates the service efficiency of a queueing system. Besides, the uncertainty distribution of the busy period is obtained.

In this note an identity due to Arjas (1972) is used to express the distribution of the number of departures from a single server queue in which both service and interarrival times may depend on customer type in terms of the busy period and busy cycle processes.

This paper consists of two parts. The first part provides a more elementary proof of the asymptotic theorem of the refusals stream for an M/GI/1/n queueing system discussed in Abramov (1991a). The central property of the refusals stream discussed in the second part of this paper is that, if the expectations of interarrival and service time of an M/GI/1/n queueing system are equal to each other, then the expectation of the number of refusals during a busy period is equal to 1. This property is extended for a wide family of single-server queueing systems with refusals including, for example, queueing systems with bounded waiting time.

In the study of the busy period for a single server queueing system, three variables that have been investigated individually or at most in pairs are:1.The duration of the busy period.2.The number of customers served during the busy period.3.The maximum number of customers in the queue during the busy period.

We consider a single-server Markovian queue with synchronized services and setup times. The customers arrive according to a Poisson process and are served simultaneously. The service times are independent and exponentially distributed. At a service completion epoch, every customer remains satisfied with probability p (independently of the others) and departs from the system; otherwise, he stays for a new service. Moreover, the server takes multiple vacations whenever the system is empty.Some of the transition rates of the underlying two-dimensional Markov chain involve binomial coefficients dependent on the number of customers. Indeed, at each service completion epoch, the number of customers n is reduced according to a binomial (n, p) distribution. We show that the model can be efficiently studied using the framework of q-hypergeometric series and we carry out an extensive analysis including the stationary, the busy period, and the sojourn time distributions. Exact formulas and numerical results show the effect of the level of synchronization to the performance of such systems.

Avi-Itzhak, Maxwell and Miller (1965) studied a queueing model with a single server serving two service units with alternating priority. Their model explored the possibility of having the alternating priority model treated in this paper with a single server serving alternately between two service units in tandem.Here we study the distribution of busy period, virtual waiting time and queue length and their limiting behavior.
