The points of a non-stationary Poisson process with periodic intensity are independently shifted forward in time in such a way that the transformed process is stationary Poisson. The mean shift is shown to be minimal. The approach used is to consider an Mt/Gt/∞ queueing system where the arrival process is a non-stationary Poisson with periodic intensity function. A minimal service time distribution is constructed that yields a stationary Poisson departure process.

We present some non-stationary infinite-server queueing systems with stationary Poisson departure processes. In Foley (1982), it was shown that the departure process from the Mt/Gt/∞ queue was a Poisson process, possibly non-stationary. The Mt/Gt/∞ queue is an infinite-server queue with a stationary or non-stationary Poisson arrival process and a general server in which the service time of a customer may depend upon the customer's arrival time. Mirasol (1963) pointed out that the departure process from the M/G/∞ queue is a stationary Poisson process. The question arose whether there are any other Mt/Gt/∞ queueing systems with stationary Poisson departure processes. For example, if the arrival rate is periodic, is it possible to select the service-time distribution functions to fluctuate in order to compensate for the fluctuations of the arrival rate? In this situation and in more general situations, it is possible to select the server such that the system yields a stationary Poisson departure process.

Consider a queueing system M/G/s with the arrival intensity λ, the service time distribution function B(t) (B(0) < 1) having a finite mean and the waiting room size N ≤ ∞. If s < ∞ and N = ∞, we shall also assume that its relative traffic intensity is less than 1. Since the arrival process of this system is Poisson, it is immediate that in this case the distribution of the number of arrivals during an interval is infinitely divisible.

In this note we adopt the notation and terminology of Kingman (1966) without further comment. For the general single server queue one has For the queueing system GI/Ek/1 it is possible to make use of the particular nature of the service time distribution to evaluate the right-hand side of Equation (1) in terms of the k roots of a certain equation. This evaluation is carried out in detail in Prabhu (1965) to which reference should be made for the technicalities involved. A similar evaluation applies to the limiting distribution when it exists. However, the resulting expression again involves the k roots of a certain equation. In this note we draw attention to an alternative procedure which does not involve the calculation of roots. We remark that a similar, but slightly different, procedure can be used in the study of the queueing system Ek/GI/1. Details of this will be presented in a separate note.

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.

Consider a single-server queueing system with a Poisson arrival process at rate λ and positive service requirements independently distributed with common distribution function B(z) and finite expectationwhere βλ < 1, i.e. an M/G/1 system. When the queue discipline is first come first served, or last come first served without pre-emption, the stationary departure process is Poisson if and only if G = M (i.e. B(z) = 1 − exp (−z/β)); see (8), (4) and (2). In this paper it is shown that when the queue discipline is last come first served with pre-emption the stationary departure process is Poisson whatever the form of B(z). The method used is adapted from the approach of Takács (10) and Shanbhag and Tambouratzis (9).

One of the major difficulties in attempting to apply known queueing theory results to real problems is that almost always these results assume a time-stationary Poisson arrival process, whereas in practice the actual process is almost invariably non-stationary. In this paper we consider single-server infinite-capacity queueing models in which the arrival process is a non-stationary process with an intensity function ∧(t), t ≧ 0, which is itself a random process. We suppose that the average value of the intensity function exists and is equal to some constant, call it λ, with probability 1. We make a conjecture to the effect that ‘the closer {∧(t), t ≧ 0} is to the stationary Poisson process with rate λ ' then the smaller is the average customer delay, and then we verify the conjecture in the special case where the arrival process is an interrupted Poisson process.

We consider tandem queues which have a general arrival process. The queueing system consists of s (s ≧ 2) single-server service stations and the servers have exponential service-time distributions. Firstly we give a new proof for the fact that the departure process does not depend on the particular allocation of the servers to the stations. Secondly, considering the service rates, we prove that the departure process becomes stochastically faster as the homogeneity of the servers increases in the sense of a given condition. It turns out that, given the sum of the service rates, the departure process is stochastically fastest in the case where the servers are homogeneous.

We consider tandem queueing systems with a general arrival process and exponential service distribution. The queueing system consists of several stations with finite intermediate buffer capacity between the stations. We address the problem of determining the optimal arrangement for the stations. We find that considering the last two stations, the departure process is stochastically faster if the slower station is last. Our results are consistent with the “bowl shape” phenomenon that has been observed in serial queueing systems with zero buffer capacity.
