Abstract:

This paper considers two types of M/G/1 queueing systems with N-strategy and single vacation, one of which is uninterruptible on vacation and the other is of interruptible on vacation. Using the stochastic decomposition of the steady-state queue length, the expressions of the probability generating function of the steady-state queue length are obtained. And the sensitivity of the system's idle rate and the additional average queue-length towards system parameters is discussed. Furthermore, the explicit expressions of the long-run expected cost per unit time are derived under a given cost structure. At the same time, numerical calculation examples are used to determine the control strategy N* for minimizing the long-run expected cost per unit time as well as the combined control strategy (N*, T*) when the vacation time is fixed duration T.

Key words: N-strategy, single vacation, interruptible vacation, uninterruptible vacation, optimal control strategy
