Machine Repair Problem in Production Systems with Spares and Server Vacations

Jau-Chuan Ke, Ssu-Lang Lee, Cheng-Hwai Liou (2009)

RAIRO - Operations Research

This paper studies the machine repair problem consisting of M operating machines with S spare machines, and R servers (repairmen) who leave for a vacation of random length when there are no failed machines queuing up for repair in the repair facility. At the end of the vacation the servers return to the repair facility and operate one of three vacation policies: single vacation, multiple vacation, and hybrid single/multiple vacation. The Markov process and the matrix-geometric approach are used...

Maximum likelihood estimates and confidence intervals of an M/M/R/N queue with balking and heterogeneous servers

Kuo-Hsiung Wang, Sheau-Chyi Chen, Jau-Chuan Ke (2004)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

This paper considers an M/M/R/N queue with heterogeneous servers in which customers balk (do not enter) with a constant probability ( 1 - b ) . We develop the maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters for the M/M/R/N queue with balking and heterogeneous servers. This is a generalization of the M/M/2 queue with heterogeneous servers (without balking), and the M/M/2/N queue with balking and heterogeneous servers in the literature. We also develop the confidence interval formula for the parameter ρ , the...

M/M/1 retrial queue with collisions and working vacation interruption under N-policy

Li Tao, Zaiming Liu, Zhizhong Wang (2012)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

Consider an M/M/1 retrial queue with collisions and working vacation interruption under N-policy. We use a quasi birth and death process to describe the considered system and derive a condition for the stability of the model. Using the matrix-analytic method, we obtain the stationary probability distribution and some performance measures. Furthermore, we prove the conditional stochastic decomposition for the queue length in the orbit. Finally, some numerical examples are presented.

Multiclass Hammersley–Aldous–Diaconis process and multiclass-customer queues

Pablo A. Ferrari, James B. Martin (2009)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

In the Hammersley–Aldous–Diaconis process, infinitely many particles sit in ℝ and at most one particle is allowed at each position. A particle at x, whose nearest neighbor to the right is at y, jumps at rate y−x to a position uniformly distributed in the interval (x, y). The basic coupling between trajectories with different initial configuration induces a process with different classes of particles. We show that the invariant measures for the two-class process can be obtained as follows. First,...
