Shokry Received: 26 January 2011/ Revised: 29 July 2011/ Accepted: 20 October 2011/ © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg and Fuzzy Information and Engineering Branch of the Operations Research Society of China Abstract In this paper, we derive the performance measures of the truncated Erlan- gian service queueing system with state-dependent rate, balking and reneging with fuzzy arrival rate λ so for the (M/E /1/N(α,β)), we have obtained P the steady n r n,s state probabilities in the system with the unit in the service being at stage s (s=1, 2, ··· , r); k is the boundary state for the number of customer more than the one that the rate of service increases.

Introduction This paper considers the queueing system M/E /1/N with state-dependent service rate, balking and reneging concepts. The Erlang distribution, denoted by E is a special case of the gamma distribution and is named after A.K. Erlang who pioneered queueing system theory for its application to congestion in telephone networks. The non-truncated queue: M/E /1 was solved by Morse [2] at r = 2 and white et al [4], who obtained the solution in the series expansion. Al Seedy [1] gave an analytical solution of the queue: M/E /1/N with balking only. This work has been followed by Kotb [3] who studied the analytical solution of the state-dependent Erlangian queue: M/E /1/N with balking by using a very useful lemma. In this paper, we treat the analytical solution of the queue: M/E /1/N(α,β) for finite capacity considering by using a recurrence relations. We obtain P , the probabilities that there are n units in n,s A.

(2) This means that the units are served with two different rates rμ or rμ depending 1 2 on the number of units in the system whether 1 ≤ n ≤ k or k+ 1 ≤ n ≤ N, respectively. Also, consider an exponential inter arrival pattern with rate λ . Assume (1−β)to be the probability that a unit balks (does not enter the queue), where: β =P (a unit joins the queue), 0 ≤ β ≤ 1, 1 ≤ n ≤ N; for n = 0,β = 1, it is clear that: λ, n = 0, λ = n ⎪ βλ, 1 ≤ n ≤ N. Assume the probabilities : P = P (n units in the system and the unit in service being in stage s), n,s where: 1 ≤ n ≤ N, 1 ≤ s ≤ r , P =probability of an empty system, i.e., the dally probability.

In the system: M/E /1/N with state-dependent, balking and reneging, let N = 4, K = 2, r = 3 (i.e., the queue M/E /1/4(α,β)), in Equations (11)-(15). The results are P = a P , P = a P , P = a P , 1,1 1 0 1,2 2 0 1,3 3 0 P = b P , P = b P , P = b P , 2,1 1 0 2,2 2 0 2,3 3 0 P = c P , P = c P , P = c P , 3,1 1 0 3,2 2 0 3,3 3 0 P = d P , P = d P , P = d P , 4,1 1 0 4,2 2 0 4,3 3 0 where: a = φ , a = φ (1+βφ ) , a = φ(1+βφ ) , 1 1 2 1 1 3 1 b = βφ (a + a + a ), 1 2 1 2 3 b = βφ (1+βφ ) (a + a + a )− ( )a , 2 2 2 1 2 3 1 1+βφ 1 1 b = βφ (1+βφ ) (a + a + a )− ( )a − ( ) a , 3 2 2 1 2 3 1 2 1+βφ 1+βφ 2 2 c = βφ (b + b + b ), 1 3 1 2 3 c = βφ (1+βφ ) b + b + b − ( )b , 2 3 3 1 2 3 1 1+βφ 1 1 c = βφ (1+βφ ) b + b + b − ( )b − ( ) b , 3 3 3 1 2 3 1 2 1+βφ 1+βφ 3 3 d = βφ (c + c + c ), d = βφ (c + c ), d = βφ c , 1 4 1 2 3 2 4 2 3 3 4 3 λ λ φ = ,φ = , 1 2 3μ 3μ +α (1) (1) λ λ φ = ,φ = . 3 4 3μ + 2α 3μ + 3α (2) (2) From the normalizing condition: 3 3 3 3 P + P + P + P + P = 1, 0 1,s 2,s 3,s 4,s s=1 s=1 s=1 s=1 we have: −1 P = {1+ a + a + a + b + b + b + c + c + c + d + d + d } . 0 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 Therefore, the expected numbers in the system and in the queue are, respectively: 4 3 L = nP = ((a + a + a )+ 2(b + b + b ) n,s 1 2 3 1 2 3 n=1 s=1 Fuzzy Inf.

Special Cases Case1 : In the above described model selecting {α = 0,β = 1, N →∞}, we shall reach to an M/E /1 model. Case2 : Selecting {α = 0,μ = μ = μ, K = N}, the model M/E /1/N(β) will be (1) (2) r approached which would be the Erlangian system with finite capacity and Balking phenomena. 5. System withλ In this section, we shall derive the effective measures of the system when the state dependent arrival rate is a fuzzy number. But μ ,μ are two crisp service rates, (1) (2) which are predetermined. It may be noted that this derivation shall be done for the fix number of Erlangian phases, i.e., r = 3 here because in fuzzified form we have to consider the related function to be monotone. Now it remains to consider monotony of a, b, c, d, p as the function of λ. This may be easily done by differentiating i i i i 0 respect toλ, see that they are all increasing functions ofλ. So on the basis ofα− cuts we shall have: ⎧ ⎫ 4 3 ⎪   ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎨ ⎬ L[α] = nP | A . ⎪ ⎪ n,s ⎪ ⎪ ⎩ ⎭ n=1 s=1 Using the Relation (16), we now have: ⎧ ⎫ 3 3 3 3 ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎨ ⎬ L[α] = ( a + 2 b + 3 c + 4 d )P | A , ⎪ i i i i 0 ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎩ ⎭ i=1 i=1 i=1 1 where the condition A is: ⎧ ⎫ ⎪  ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎨ ⎬ ˜ ˜ A = (P , P ) ∈ P[α], P + P = 1, a ∈ a ˜ [α],··· , d ∈ d [α] . ⎪ ⎪ 0 n,s 0 n,s i i i i ⎪ ⎪ ⎩ ⎭ n,s Now we shall obtain the lower and upper α− cuts by substituting another suffix l or u in the appropriate parameters; so L[α] = L , L , l,α u,α L = (a + a + a + 2(b + b + b )+ 3(c + c + c ) l,α 1,l 2,l 3,l 1,l 2,l 3,l 1,l 2,l 3,l 384 A.

Conclusion In this paper, we considered an (M/E /1/N(α,β)), queueing system with balking, reneging and fuzzy parameter. We developed the equations of the steady state prob- abilities and derived some performance measures of the system. One example was presented to demonstrate how the fuzzy parameters of the model influence the behav- ior of the system.

In the system: M/E /1/N with state-dependent, balking and reneging, let N = 4, K = 2, r = 3 (i.e., the queue M/E /1/4(α,β)), in Equations (11)-(15). The results are P = a P , P = a P , P = a P , 1,1 1 0 1,2 2 0 1,3 3 0 P = b P , P = b P , P = b P , 2,1 1 0 2,2 2 0 2,3 3 0 P = c P , P = c P , P = c P , 3,1 1 0 3,2 2 0 3,3 3 0 P = d P , P = d P , P = d P , 4,1 1 0 4,2 2 0 4,3 3 0 where: a = φ , a = φ (1+βφ ) , a = φ(1+βφ ) , 1 1 2 1 1 3 1 b = βφ (a + a + a ), 1 2 1 2 3 b = βφ (1+βφ ) (a + a + a )− ( )a , 2 2 2 1 2 3 1 1+βφ 1 1 b = βφ (1+βφ ) (a + a + a )− ( )a − ( ) a , 3 2 2 1 2 3 1 2 1+βφ 1+βφ 2 2 c = βφ (b + b + b ), 1 3 1 2 3 c = βφ (1+βφ ) b + b + b − ( )b , 2 3 3 1 2 3 1 1+βφ 1 1 c = βφ (1+βφ ) b + b + b − ( )b − ( ) b , 3 3 3 1 2 3 1 2 1+βφ 1+βφ 3 3 d = βφ (c + c + c ), d = βφ (c + c ), d = βφ c , 1 4 1 2 3 2 4 2 3 3 4 3 λ λ φ = ,φ = , 1 2 3μ 3μ +α (1) (1) λ λ φ = ,φ = . 3 4 3μ + 2α 3μ + 3α (2) (2) From the normalizing condition: 3 3 3 3 P + P + P + P + P = 1, 0 1,s 2,s 3,s 4,s s=1 s=1 s=1 s=1 we have: −1 P = {1+ a + a + a + b + b + b + c + c + c + d + d + d } . 0 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 Therefore, the expected numbers in the system and in the queue are, respectively: 4 3 L = nP = ((a + a + a )+ 2(b + b + b ) n,s 1 2 3 1 2 3 n=1 s=1 Fuzzy Inf.

Special Cases Case1 : In the above described model selecting {α = 0,β = 1, N →∞}, we shall reach to an M/E /1 model. Case2 : Selecting {α = 0,μ = μ = μ, K = N}, the model M/E /1/N(β) will be (1) (2) r approached which would be the Erlangian system with finite capacity and Balking phenomena. 5. System withλ In this section, we shall derive the effective measures of the system when the state dependent arrival rate is a fuzzy number. But μ ,μ are two crisp service rates, (1) (2) which are predetermined. It may be noted that this derivation shall be done for the fix number of Erlangian phases, i.e., r = 3 here because in fuzzified form we have to consider the related function to be monotone. Now it remains to consider monotony of a, b, c, d, p as the function of λ. This may be easily done by differentiating i i i i 0 respect toλ, see that they are all increasing functions ofλ. So on the basis ofα− cuts we shall have: ⎧ ⎫ 4 3 ⎪   ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎨ ⎬ L[α] = nP | A . ⎪ ⎪ n,s ⎪ ⎪ ⎩ ⎭ n=1 s=1 Using the Relation (16), we now have: ⎧ ⎫ 3 3 3 3 ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎨ ⎬ L[α] = ( a + 2 b + 3 c + 4 d )P | A , ⎪ i i i i 0 ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎩ ⎭ i=1 i=1 i=1 1 where the condition A is: ⎧ ⎫ ⎪  ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎨ ⎬ ˜ ˜ A = (P , P ) ∈ P[α], P + P = 1, a ∈ a ˜ [α],··· , d ∈ d [α] . ⎪ ⎪ 0 n,s 0 n,s i i i i ⎪ ⎪ ⎩ ⎭ n,s Now we shall obtain the lower and upper α− cuts by substituting another suffix l or u in the appropriate parameters; so L[α] = L , L , l,α u,α L = (a + a + a + 2(b + b + b )+ 3(c + c + c ) l,α 1,l 2,l 3,l 1,l 2,l 3,l 1,l 2,l 3,l 384 A.

Conclusion In this paper, we considered an (M/E /1/N(α,β)), queueing system with balking, reneging and fuzzy parameter. We developed the equations of the steady state prob- abilities and derived some performance measures of the system. One example was presented to demonstrate how the fuzzy parameters of the model influence the behav- ior of the system.
