Abstract

Customers arrive in groups to a single server queue with finite waiting room. Two-dimensional distributions for times and numbers of served customers between occurrences of states in the embedded Markov chain are obtained by linear algebra giving systems of equations for joint Laplace-Stieltjes transforms. For M/M/1 a simple recursion relation for the joint transform of the two variables in the title is derived and used to obtained the first and second moments.
