A discrete time single-server queue with balking: economic applications

Controllable Multi-Server Queue with Balking (TECHNICAL NOTE)

On Two-Echelon Multi-Server Queue with Balking and Limited Intermediate Buffer

In this paper we study two echelon multi-server tandom queueing systems where customers arrive according to a poisson process with two different rates. The service rates at both echelons are independent of each other. The service times of customers is assumed to be completed in two stages. The service times at each stage are exponentially distributed. At the first stage, the customers may balk ...

FINITE POPULATION SINGLE SERVER BATCH SERVICE QUEUE WITH COMPULSORY SERVER VACATION

A single server finite population queueing model with compulsory server vacation and with fixed batch service has been considered. For this model the system steady state probabilities are obtained. Some performance measures are calculated and numerical examples are also given.  

Optimal balking strategies and pricing for the single server Markovian queue with compartmented waiting space

We consider the single server Markovian queue and we assume that arriving customers decide whether to enter the system or balk based on a natural rewardcost structure, which incorporates their desire for service as well as their unwillingness to wait. We suppose that the waiting space of the system is partitioned in compartments of fixed capacity for a customers. Before making his decision, a c...

Optimal and equilibrium balking strategies in the single server Markovian queue with catastrophes

We consider a Markovian queue subject to Poisson generated catastrophes. Whenever a catastrophe occurs, all customers are forced to abandon the system, the server is rendered inoperative and an exponential repair time is set on. We assume that the arriving customers decide whether to join the system or balk, based on a natural reward-cost structure. We study the balking behavior of the customer...
