In queueing theory, a discipline within the mathematical theory of probability, a Markovian arrival process (MAP or MArP [1]) is a mathematical model for the time between job arrivals to a system. The simplest such process is a Poisson process where the time between each arrival is exponentially distributed. [2] [3]
A M/M/1 queue means that the time between arrivals is Markovian (M), i.e. the inter-arrival time follows an exponential distribution of parameter λ. The second M means that the service time is Markovian: it follows an exponential distribution of parameter μ. The last parameter is the number of service channel which one (1).
The system is described in Kendall's notation where the G denotes a general distribution for both interarrival times and service times and the 1 that the model has a single server. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Different interarrival and service times are considered to be independent, and sometimes the model is denoted GI/GI/1 to emphasise this.
and F(u) is the service time distribution and λ the Poisson arrival rate of jobs to the queue. Markov chains with generator matrices or block matrices of this form are called M/G/1 type Markov chains, [ 13 ] a term coined by Marcel F. Neuts .
Lindley's integral equation is a relationship satisfied by the stationary waiting time distribution F(x) in a G/G/1 queue. = ()Where K(x) is the distribution function of the random variable denoting the difference between the (k - 1)th customer's arrival and the inter-arrival time between (k - 1)th and kth customers.
It is an extension of an M/M/1 queue, where this renewal process must specifically be a Poisson process (so that interarrival times have exponential distribution). Models of this type can be solved by considering one of two M/G/1 queue dual systems, one proposed by Ramaswami and one by Bright.
In mathematical queueing theory, Little's law (also result, theorem, lemma, or formula [1] [2]) is a theorem by John Little which states that the long-term average number L of customers in a stationary system is equal to the long-term average effective arrival rate λ multiplied by the average time W that a customer spends in the system.
where τ is the mean service time; σ 2 is the variance of service time; and ρ=λτ < 1, λ being the arrival rate of the customers. For M/M/1 queue, the service times are exponentially distributed, then σ 2 = τ 2 and the mean waiting time in the queue denoted by W M is given by the following equation: [ 5 ]
