  2. Queueing theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queueing_theory

    In the study of queue networks one typically tries to obtain the equilibrium distribution of the network, although in many applications the study of the transient state is fundamental. Queueing theory is the mathematical study of waiting lines, or queues. [1] A queueing model is constructed so that queue lengths and waiting time can be ...

  3. Little's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little's_law

    For example: A queue depth meter shows an average of nine jobs waiting to be serviced. Add one for the job being serviced, so there is an average of ten jobs in the system. Another meter shows a mean throughput of 50 per second. The mean response time is calculated as 0.2 seconds = 10 / 50 per second. Customers in the store

  4. Memorylessness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorylessness

    The universal law of radioactive decay, which describes the time until a given radioactive particle decays, is a real-life example of memorylessness. An often used (theoretical) example of memorylessness in queueing theory is the time a storekeeper must wait before the arrival of the next customer. Discrete memorylessness

  5. M/D/1 queue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M/D/1_queue

    M/D/1 queue. In queueing theory, a discipline within the mathematical theory of probability, an M/D/1 queue represents the queue length in a system having a single server, where arrivals are determined by a Poisson process and job service times are fixed (deterministic). The model name is written in Kendall's notation. [1]

  6. M/M/1 queue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M/M/1_queue

    Response time. The average response time or sojourn time (total time a customer spends in the system) does not depend on scheduling discipline and can be computed using Little's law as 1/(μ − λ). The average time spent waiting is 1/(μ − λ) − 1/μ = ρ/(μ − λ). The distribution of response times experienced does depend on ...

  7. Rule against perpetuities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_against_perpetuities

    e. The rule against perpetuities is a legal rule in common law that prevents people from using legal instruments (usually a deed or a will) to exert control over the ownership of private property for a time long beyond the lives of people living at the time the instrument was written. Specifically, the rule forbids a person from creating future ...

  8. G/G/1 queue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G/G/1_queue

    The numerical solution for the GI/G/1 can be obtained by discretizing the time. Waiting time. Kingman's formula gives an approximation for the mean waiting time in a G/G/1 queue. Lindley's integral equation is a relationship satisfied by the stationary waiting time distribution which can be solved using the Wiener–Hopf method.

  9. M/M/c queue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M/M/c_queue

    In queueing theory, a discipline within the mathematical theory of probability, the M/M/c queue (or Erlang–C model [1] : 495 ) is a multi-server queueing model. [2] In Kendall's notation it describes a system where arrivals form a single queue and are governed by a Poisson process, there are c servers, and job service times are exponentially ...
