Abstract

This paper evaluates the queue-length distribution, the busy-period density and other characteristics of the finite-source queuing process in which the server remains idle until a queue of n units is built up. It also determines values of n that optimize the net profits for discounted, as well as undiscounted, infinite-horizon models.
