In this paper we study a multi-channel queueing model of type with N waiting places and a non-recurrent input flow dependent on queue length at the time of each arrival. The queue length is treated as a basic process. We first determine explicitly the limit distribution of the embedded Markov chain. Then, by introducing an auxiliary Markov process, we find a simple relationship between the limiting distribution of the Markov chain and the limiting distribution of the original process with continuous time parameter. Here we simultaneously combine two methods: solving the corresponding Kolmogorov system of the differential equations, and using an approach based on the theory of semi-regenerative processes. Among various applications of multi-channel queues with state-dependent input stream, we consider a closed single-server system with reserve replacement and state-dependent service, which turns out to be dual (in a certain sense) in relation to our model; an optimization problem is also solved, and an interpretation by means of tandem systems is discussed.

In this paper, some results on the asymptotic behavior of Markov renewal processes with auxiliary paths (MRPAP's) proved in other papers ([28], [29]) are applied to queueing theory. This approach to queueing problems may be regarded as an improvement of the method of Fabens [7] based on the theory of semi-Markov processes. The method of Fabens was also illustrated by Lambotte in [18], [32]. In the present paper the ordinary M/G/1 queue is generalized to allow service times to depend on the queue length immediately after the previous departure. Such models preserve the MRPAP-structure of the ordinary M/G/1 system. Recently, the asymptotic behaviour of the embedded Markov chain (MC) of this queueing model was studied by several authors. One aim of this paper is to answer the question of the relationship between the limiting distribution of the embedded MC and the limiting distribution of the original process with continuous time parameter. It turns out that these two limiting distributions coincide. Moreover some properties of the embedded MC and the embedded semi-Markov process are established. The discussion of the M/G/1 queue closes with a study of the rate-of-convergence at which the queueing process attains equilibrium.

The paper addresses monotonicity properties of the single server retrial queue with no waiting room and server subject to active breakdowns. The obtained results allow us to place in a prominent position the insensitive bounds for the stationary distribution of the embedded Markov chain related to the model in the study. Numerical illustrations are provided to support the results.

We are concerned with a burst arrival single-server queue, where arrivals of cells in a burst are synchronized with a constant service time. The main concern is with the loss probability of cells for the queue with a finite buffer. We analyze an embedded Markov chain at departure instants of cells and get a kind of lumpability for its state space. Based on these results, this paper proposes a computation algorithm for its stationary distribution and the loss probability. Closed formulas are obtained for the first two moments of the numbers of cells and active bursts when the buffer size is infinite.

A tandem queue with a FIFO multiserver system at each stage, i.i.d. service times and a renewal process of external arrivals is shown to be regenerative by modeling it as a Harris-ergodic Markov chain. In addition, some explicit regeneration points are found. This generalizes the results of Nummelin (1981) in which a single server system is at each stage and the result of Charlot et al. (1978) in which the FIFO GI/GI/c queue is modeled as a Harris chain. In preparing for our result, we study the random assignment queue and use it to give a new proof of Harris ergodicity of the FIFO queue.

We consider a new embedded Markov chain for the PH/G/1 queue by recording the queue length, the phase of the arrival process and the number of services completed during the current busy period at the successive departure epochs. Algorithmically tractable matrix formulas are obtained which permit the analysis of the fluctuations of the queue length and waiting times during a typical busy cycle. These are useful in the computation of certain profile curves arising in the statistical analysis of queues. In addition, informative expressions for the mean waiting times in the stable GI/G/1 queue and a simple new algorithm to evaluate the waiting-time distributions for the stationary PH/PH/1 queue are obtained.

For the E k /G/1 queue with finite waiting room the phase technique is used to analyse the Markov chain imbedded in the queueing process at successive instants at which customers complete service, and the distribution of queue length is obtained. The limit as the size of the waiting room becomes infinite is found.

Earlier work by Hadidi and Conolly and contemporary work by the author point to the great operational advantages of state-dependent queueing models. Let pin (t) be the state probabilities and p∗ in the corresponding L.T.'s relative to the single server birth-and-death queueing process with parameters λn = λ/(n + 1), n ≥ 0, μn = μ, n ≥ 1. We have obtained an exact formulation of p ∗ i0 , p ∗ in (n ≥ 1) being determined recursively. An exact expression for p 10(t) is given in the case of low traffic intensities, and this has been approximated efficiently. Numerical evaluations show that the steady-state is reached very rapidly.

For M/GI/1/∞ queues with instantaneous Bernoulli feedback time- and customer-stationary characteristics of the number of customers in the system and of the waiting time are investigated. Customer-stationary characteristics are thereby obtained describing the behaviour of the queueing processes, for example, at arrival epochs, at feedback epochs, and at times at which an arbitrary (arriving or fed-back) customer enters the waiting room. The method used to obtain these characteristics consists of simple relationships between them and the time-stationary distribution of the number of customers in the system at an arbitrary point in time. The latter is obtained from the wellknown Pollaczek–Khinchine formula for M/GI/1/∞ queues without feedback.
