Sample-Path Analysis of Single-Server Queue with Multiple Vacations

الملخص EN

We a give deterministic (sample path) proof of a result that extends the Pollaczek-Khintchine formula for a multiple vacation single-server queueing model.

We also give a conservation law for the same system with multiple classes.

Our results are completely rigorous and hold under weaker assumptions than those given in the literature.

We do not make stochastic assumptions, so the results hold almost surely on every sample path of the stochastic process that describes the system evolution.

The article is self contained in that it gives a brief review of necessary background material.
