Computing queue length distributions in MAP/G/1/N queue under single and multiple vacation (Q2489384)

The author considers a MAP/G/1/N queue with single and multiple vacations with Markov arrival input process (MAP). He develops steady-state matrix differential equations and obtains the distributions of the number of customers in the queue of various epochs. The embedded Markov chain technique and supplementary variable method are used. A computational procedure is presented in the case of phase-type service-time and vacation-time distributions.
