Markov model of multi-component machining system comprising two unreliable heterogeneous servers and mixed type of standby support has been studied. The repair job of broken down machines is done on the basis of bi-level threshold policy for the activation of the servers. The server returns back to render repair job when the pre-specified workload of failed machines is build up. The first (seco...

We consider the server algorithm, called HARMONIC, that always moves the servers with probabilities proportional to the inverses of distances to the request point. We show that for two servers HARMONIC is 3-competitive. Before it was only known that the competitiveness constant of this algorithm is between 3 and 6.

answers to your queries and hence I am the right category of entity for your needs. Coming to me was clearly the right thing to do because I offer three guarantees: (1) if there is an answer to your question, you can be sure I’ll supply it; (2) the answer I give you is guaranteed to be logically correct; and (3) I will answer you in a very reasonable amount of time, as long as you can phrase it...

This paper deals with multi-component machine repair model having provision of warm standby units and repair facility consisting of two heterogeneous servers (primary and secondary) to provide repair to the failed units. The failure of operating and standby units may occur individually or due to some common cause. The primary server may fail partially following full failure whereas secondary se...

Waiting in long queue is undesirable due to which in some practical situations customers become impatient and leave the system. In such cases providing additional servers can reduce long queue. This investigation deals with multi-server queueing system with additional servers and discouragement. The customers arrive in poisson fashion and are served exponentially by a pool of permanent and addi...
