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 $r$…
Exact explicit results are derived for the distribution of the partial busy period of the M/M/c multi-server queue for a general number of servers. A rudimentary spectral method leads to a representation that is amenable to efficient…
A two-sided exit problem is solved for a difference of a compound Poisson process and a compound renewal process. More precisely, the Laplace transforms of the joint distribution of the first exit time, the value of the overshoot and the…
We introduce a queueing system that alternates between two modes, so-called {\it working mode} and {\it vacation mode}. During the working mode the system runs as an $M^{X}/G/1$ queue. Once the number of customers in the working mode drops…
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…
In this short communication we study a fluid queue with a finite buffer. The performance measure we are interested in is the occupation time over a finite time period, i.e., the fraction of time the workload process is below some fixed…
This paper studies a generalized busy-time scheduling model on heterogeneous machines. The input to the model includes a set of jobs and a set of machine types. Each job has a size and a time interval during which it should be processed.…
Recent studies indicate that in many situations service times are affected by the experienced queueing delay of the particular customer. This effect has been detected in different areas, such as health care, call centers and…
This paper presents a method for calculating steady state probabilities of $M|E_r|c|K$ queueing systems. The infinitesimal generator matrix is used to define all possible states in the system and their transition probabilities. While this…
We investigate an M/M/1 queue operating in two switching environments, where the switch is governed by a two-state time-homogeneous Markov chain. This model allows to describe a system that is subject to regular operating phases alternating…
In this paper, we study the $G/\mathit{GI}/N$ queue in the Halfin--Whitt regime. Our first result is to obtain a deterministic fluid limit for the properly centered and scaled number of customers in the system which may be used to provide a…
Motivated by the problem of the coexistence on transmission links of telecommunication networks of elastic and unresponsive traffic, we study in this paper the impact on the busy period of an M/M/1 queue of a small perturbation in the…
Service time fluctuations heavily affect the performance of queueing systems, causing long waiting times and backlogs. Recently, it was shown that when service times are solely determined by the server, service resetting can mitigate the…
Queues with setup time are extensively studied because they have application in performance evaluation of power-saving data centers. In a data center, there are a huge number of servers which consume a large amount of energy. In the current…
We introduce a rate balance principle for general (not necessarily Markovian) stochastic processes. Special attention is given to processes with birth and death like transitions, for which it is shown that for any state $i$, the rate of two…
In this paper, we analyze the number of departures from an initially empty $M/M/\infty$ system in a finite time interval. We observe the system during an exponentially distributed period of time starting from the time origin. We then…
In this paper we investigate an M/M/$\infty$ queue whose parameters depend on an external random environment that we assume to be a semi-Markovian process with finite state space. For this model we show a recursive formula that allows to…
In this paper, we prove the exponential convergence of the non-stationary moment of a random variable that defines the virtual waiting time in the mass service system M\G\1\ $\infty $, where the distribution of the service time satisfies…
If the inter-arrival time distribution of a renewal process is regularly varying with index $\alpha\in\left( 0,1\right) $ (i.e. the inter-arrival times have infinite mean) and if $A\left( t\right) $ is the associated age process at time…
In this paper we solve a particular stochastic recursion in the stationary ergodic framework, and propose some applications of this result to the study of regenerativity (that is, finiteness of busy cycles) and stationarity of some queueing…
