Abstract

We study an M/G/1 queue with second optional service and Bernoulli schedule server vacations. Poisson arrivals with mean arrival rate λ (> 0), all demand the first 'essential' service, whereas only some of them demand the second 'optional' service. The service times of the first essential service are assumed to follow a general (arbitrary) distribution with distribution function B(v) and that of the second optional service are exponential with mean service time 1/μ22 > 0). We have assumed that after completion of a service, the server takes Bernoulli schedule server vacations. The time-dependent probability generating functions have been obtained in terms of their Laplace transforms and the corresponding steady state results have been derived explicitly in closed form. Some known results have been derived as particular cases.
