We introduce and study a queue with the Erlang service system and whose arrivals are governed by a counting process in which there is a possibility of finitely many arrivals in an infinitesimal time interval. We call it the Erlang queue…

This paper introduces the \textbf{detachment process}, a novel, time-inhomogeneous Markov process inspired by I. P. T\'oth's problem \cite{Toth} concerning the number of ``lonely passengers'' (those without companions) when $n$ passengers…

A simple analytical solution is proposed for the stationary loss system of two parallel queues with finite capacity $K$, in which new customers join the shortest queue, or one of the two with equal probability if their lengths are equal.…

We give a recursive construction of the stationary distribution of multi-type asymmetric simple exclusion processes on a finite ring or on the infinite line $Z$. The construction can be interpreted in terms of "multi-line diagrams" or…

The non-stationary Erlang-A queue is a fundamental queueing model that is used to describe the dynamic behavior of large scale multi-server service systems that may experience customer abandonments, such as call centers, hospitals, and…

Arrival processes to service systems often display (i) larger than anticipated fluctuations, (ii) a time-varying rate, and (iii) temporal correlation. Motivated by this, we introduce a specific non-homogeneous Poisson process that…

In this paper, we study a controllable tandem queueing system consisting of two nodes and a controller, in which customers arrive according to a Poisson process and must receive service at both nodes before leaving the system. A decision…

In the supermarket model there are n queues, each with a unit rate server. Customers arrive in a Poisson process at rate \lambda n, where 0<\lambda <1. Each customer chooses d > 2 queues uniformly at random, and joins a shortest one. It is…

We analyze a tandem network of polling queues with two product types and two stations. We assume that external arrivals to the network follow a Poisson process, and service times at each station are exponentially distributed. For this…

In this paper we prove the Poisson Hypothesis for the limiting behavior of the large queueing systems in some simple ("mean-field") cases. We show in particular that the corresponding dynamical systems, defined by the non-linear Markov…

In many different settings, requests for service can arrive in near or true simultaneity with one another. This creates batches of arrivals to the underlying queueing system. In this paper, we study the staffing problem for the batch…
