On the Relaxation Time for Single Server Queues
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper gives a natural definition of the relaxation time for general single server queues. First, we describe a GI/GI/I queue as a limit of GI/GPH/I queues. Each GI/GPH/I queue is transferred to some equivalent bulk arrival GIx/M/I queue, which is formulated by a spatially homogeneous Markov chain with reflecting barrior at zero. An upper bound, which is easy to calculate, of the relaxation time of the Markov chain is derived. It will be shown that the relaxation time of the GI/GI/ I queue, defined as a limit of the relaxation times of GI/GPH/ I queues, has a particularly simple upper bound. Some particular cases are frnally treated, where the upper bound obtained is shown to be tight for M/M/I and M/D/! queues.

Stochastic bounds for a single server queue with general retrial times
We propose to use a mathematical method based on stochastic comparisons of Markov chains in order to derive performance indice bounds. The main goal of this paper is to investigate various monotonicity properties of a single server retrial queue with first-come-first-served (FCFS) orbit and general retrial times using the stochastic ordering techniques.
متن کاملUnreliable bulk retrial queues with delayed repairs and modified vacation policy
The present investigation deals with the bulk arrival M/G/1 retrial queue with impatient customers and modified vacation policy. The incoming customers join the virtual pool of customers called orbit if they find the server being busy, on vacation or in broken down state otherwise the service of the customer at the head of the batch is started by the server. The service is provided in k</em...
متن کاملA Mathematical Analysis on Linkage of a Network of Queues with Two Machines in a Flow Shop including Transportation Time
This paper represents linkage network of queues consisting of biserial and parallel servers linked to a common server in series with a flowshop scheduling system consisting of two machines. The significant transportation time of the jobs from one machine to another is also considered. Further, the completion time of jobs/customers (waiting time + service time) in the queue network is the set...
متن کاملBernoulli Vacation Policy for a Bulk Retrial Queue with Fuzzy Parameters
In this paper, we investigate the fuzzy logic based system characteristics of MX/G/1 retrial queuing system with Bernoulli vacation schedule. The service time and vacation time are assumed to be generally distributed. It is found in many practical situations that the queuing models with fuzzy parameters are much more realistic than the classical crisp parameters based queuing models. We have...
متن کاملTime-Varying Queues
Service systems abound with queues, but the most natural direct models are often timevarying queues, which require nonstandard analysis methods beyond stochastic textbooks. This paper surveys the literature on time-varying queues. Most of the literature concerns manyserver queues, which arise in large-scale service systems, such as in customer contact centers and hospital emergency departments,...
