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.

Server Queue

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.

Stationary Queue Length

We consider a multiserver queue in the Halfin-Whitt regime: as the number of serversngrows without a bound, the utilization approaches 1 from below at the rateAssuming that the service time distribution is lattice valued with a finite support, we characterize the limiting scaled stationary queue length distribution in terms of the stationary distribution of an explicitly constructed Markov chain. Furthermore, we obtain an explicit expression for the critical exponent for the moment generating function of a limiting stationary queue length. This exponent has a compact representation in terms of three parameters: the amount of spare capacity and the coefficients of variation of interarrival and service times. Interestingly, it matches an analogous exponent corresponding to a single-server queue in the conventional heavy-traffic regime.

Transient Solutions

The algorithm for the transient solution for the denumerable state Markov process with an arbitrary initial distribution is given in this paper. The transient queue length distribution for a general Markovian queueing system can be obtained by this algorithm. As examples, some numerical results are presented.

The Stability

We consider a two-node Jackson network in which the buffer of node 1 is truncated. Our interest is in the limit of the tail decay rate of the queue-length distribution of node 2 when the buffer size of node 1 goes to infinity, provided that the stability condition of the unlimited network is satisfied. We show that there can be three different cases for the limit. This generalizes some recent results obtained for the tandem Jackson network. Special cases and some numerical examples are also presented.

Service Times

We study a queueing system with a finite number of input sources. Jobs are individually generated by a source but wait to be served in batches, during which the input of that source is stopped. The service speed of a server depends on the mode of other sources and thus includes interdependencies. The input and service times are allowed to be generally distributed. A classical example is a machine repair system where the machines are subject to shocks causing cumulative damage. A product-form expression is obtained for the steady state joint queue length distribution and shown to be insensitive (i.e. to depend on only mean input and service times). The result is of both practical and theoretical interest as an extension of more standard batch service systems.
