On the Rate of Convergence and Limiting Characteristics for a Nonstationary Queueing Model

Abstract

Consideration is given to the nonstationary analogue of M / M / 1 queueing model in which the service happens only in batches of size 2, with the arrival rate λ ( t ) and the service rate μ ( t ) . One proposes a new and simple method for the study of the queue-length process. The main probability characteristics of the queue-length process are computed. A numerical example is provided.
