Some bounds for the variance of the busy period of an M/G/∞ queue are calculated as functions of parameters of the service-time distribution function. For any type of service-time distribution function, upper and lower bounds are evaluated in terms of the intensity of traffic and the coefficient of variation of the service time. Other lower and upper bounds are derived when the service time is a NBUE, DFR or IMRL random variable. The variance of the busy period is also related to the variance of the number of busy periods that are initiated in (0, t] by renewal arguments.

This paper is devoted to a study of the integral of the workload process of the single server queue, in particular during one busy period. Firstly, we find asymptotics of the area 𝒜 swept under the workload process W(t) during the busy period when the service time distribution has a regularly varying tail. We also investigate the case of a light-tailed service time distribution. Secondly, we consider the problem of obtaining an explicit expression for the distribution of 𝒜. In the general GI/G/1 case, we use a sequential approximation to find the Laplace—Stieltjes transform of 𝒜. In the M/M/1 case, this transform is obtained explicitly in terms of Whittaker functions. Thirdly, we consider moments of 𝒜 in the GI/G/1 queue. Finally, we show asymptotic normality of .

Proceeding from duality results for the GI/G/1 queue, this paper obtains the probability of the number served in a busy period of aGI/G/1 system where customers initiating a busy period have a different service time distribution from other customers. Using duality arguments for processes with interchangeable increments, the Laplace transform of the busy period duration is found for a modified GI/M/1 queue.

A single-server queuing system with impatient customers and Coxian service is examined. It is assumed that arrivals are Poisson with a constant rate. When the server is busy upon an arrival, customer joins the queue and there is an infinite capacity of the queue. Since the variance of the service time is relatively high, the service time distribution is characterized by k-phase Cox distribution. Due to the high variability of service times and since some of the services take extremely long time, customers not only in the queue, but also in the service may become impatient. Each customer, upon arrival, activates an individual timer and starts his patience time. The patience time for each customer is a random variable which has exponential distribution. If the service does not completed before the customer's time expires, the customer abandons the queue never to return. The model is expressed as birth-and-death process and the balance equations are provided.

Algorithms are proposed for the numerical inversion of the analytical solutions obtained through classical transform methods. We compute steady-state probabilities and moments of the number of customers in the system (or in the queue) at three different epochs—postdeparture, random, and prearrival—for models of the type M/GY/1, where the capacity of the single server is a random variable. This implies first finding roots of the characteristic equation, which is detailed in an appendix for a general service time distribution. Numerical results, given a service time distribution, are illustrated through graphs and tables for cases covered in this study: deterministic, Erlang, hyperexponential, and uniform distributions. In all cases, the proposed method is computationally efficient and accurate, even for high values of the queueing parameters. The procedure is adaptable to other models in queueing theory (especially bulk queues), to problems in inventory control, transportation, flexible manufacturing process, etc. Exact results that can be obtained from the algorithms presented here will be found useful to test inequalities, bounds, or approximations.

The topological indices are functions on the graph that do not depend on the labeling of their vertices. They are used by chemists for studying the properties of chemical compounds.  Let  be a simple connected graph. The Hyper-Zagreb index of the graph ,  is defined as  ,where  and  are the degrees of vertex  and , respectively. In this paper, we study the Hyper-Zagreb index and give upper and lower bounds for .

A vertex-degree-based (VDB, for short) topological index φ induced by the numbers φij was recently defined for a digraph D, as φD=12∑uvφdu+dv−, where du+ denotes the out-degree of the vertex u,dv− denotes the in-degree of the vertex v, and the sum runs over the set of arcs uv of D. This definition generalizes the concept of a VDB topological index of a graph. In a general setting, we find sharp lower and upper bounds of a symmetric VDB topological index over Dn, the set of all digraphs with n non-isolated vertices. Applications to well-known topological indices are deduced. We also determine extremal values of symmetric VDB topological indices over OTn and OG, the set of oriented trees with n vertices, and the set of all orientations of a fixed graph G, respectively.
