Abstract: | A single server, limited capacity queueing system with Poisson arrivals and exponential service is studied. The joint probability distribution of the number of times the system reaches its capacity in time interval (0t] and the number of customers in the system at time i has been obtained. From, the joint probability, the probability that the system has reached its capacity m times in time interval (0t] has been determined and the expectation and variance have been found explicitly. A criterion for the system to be optimum is established and is illustrated numerically. |
