Equilibrium G/M/1-FIFO waiting times are exponentially distributed, as first proved by Smith (1953). For other client-sorting policies, such generality is not feasible. Assume that interarrival times are constant. Symbolics for the…
An exact formula for the equilibrium M/U/1 waiting time density is now effectively known. What began as a numeric exploration became a symbolic banquet. Inverse Laplace transforms provided breadcrumbs in the trail; delay differential…
The classical output theorem for the M/M/1 queue, due to Burke (1956), states that the departure process from a stationary M/M/1 queue, in equilibrium, has the same law as the arrivals process, that is, it is a Poisson process. In this…
In this work, nonparametric statistical inference is provided for the continuous-time M/G/1 queueing model from a Bayesian point of view. The inference is based on observations of the inter-arrival and service times. Beside other…
Virtually all practical settings where preemptive scheduling is employed are susceptible to preemption overhead, and accounting for these overheads is necessary to make informed scheduling design decisions. However, preemption overhead is…
We analyze the time-dependent behavior of an $M/M/c$ priority queue having two customer classes, class-dependent service rates, and preemptive priority between classes. More particularly, we develop a method that determines the Laplace…
IIn this paper, we consider an M^X/M/c queue with state-dependent control at idle time and catastrophes. Properties of the queues which terminate when the servers become idle are firstly studied. Recurrence, equilibrium distribution and…
We study critical GI/G/1 queues under finite second moment assumptions. We show that the busy period distribution is regularly varying with index half. We also review previously known M/G/1/ and M/M/1 derivations, yielding exact asymptotics…
We consider the Erlang A model, or $M/M/m+M$ queue, with Poisson arrivals, exponential service times, and $m$ parallel servers, and the property that waiting customers abandon the queue after an exponential time. The queue length process is…
We consider the problem of customer equilibrium strategies in an M/M/1 queue under dynamic service control. The service rate switches between a low and a high value depending on system congestion. Arriving customers do not observe the…
As a follow-up to a recent paper considering two symmetric queues, the \textit{Shortest Queue First} service discipline is presently analysed for two general asymmetric queues. Using the results previously established and assuming…
Consider the single server queue with an infinite buffer and a FIFO discipline, either of type M/M/1 or Geom/Geom/1. Denote by A the arrival process and by s the services. Assume the stability condition to be satisfied. Denote by D the…
In this paper, we consider five models of heavy-tailed queues involving Mittag-Leffler distributions that generalize the classical $M/M/1$ queues. These models are suitable modifications of previously defined models in such a way that the…
New recursive equations designed for the G/G/m queue are presented. These equations describe the queue in terms of recursions for the arrival and departure times of customers, and involve only the operations of maximum, minimum and…
While reinforcement learning has been increasingly applied to stochastic control, few studies have systematically examined policy-based methods in queuing environments modeled as a semi-Markov decision process (SMDP). To address this gap,…
We consider a model of queues in discrete time, with batch services and arrivals. The case where arrival and service batches both have Bernoulli distributions corresponds to a discrete-time M/M/1 queue, and the case where both have…
We introduce and study some queueing models with random resetting, including Markovian and non--Markovian models. The Markovian models include M/M/$\infty$, M/M/r and M/M/1+M queues with random resetting, in which a continuous-time Markov…
We study a generalization of the $M/G/1$ system (denoted by $rM/G/1$) with independent and identically distributed (iid) service times and with an arrival process whose arrival rate $\lambda_0f(r)$ depends on the remaining service time $r$…
We propose a generalization of the classical M/M/1 queue process. The resulting model is derived by applying fractional derivative operators to a system of difference-differential equations. This generalization includes both non-Markovian…
There has been considerable recent work developing a new stochastic network utility maximization framework using Backpressure algorithms, also known as MaxWeight. A key open problem has been the development of utility-optimal algorithms…
