Abstract

By an argument which involves matching sample paths, some useful equations for the probability distribution of the fundamental period in the MAP/G/1 queue are derived with less calculational effort than in earlier proofs. It is further shown that analogous equations hold for the MAP/SM/1 queueing model. These results are then used to derive explicit formulas for the mean vectors of the number served during and the duration of the fundamental period.
