Abstract

Using the theory of point processes, we give a formal treatment to queueing processes in the steady state. Based on this result, we obtain invariance relations between several quantities in G/G/c queues. As applications, the finiteness of their moments is discussed for G/G′/c queues. The basic results and notations used in this paper are contained in the author's previous paper (Miyazawa (1977)).
