Abstract

 

The problems that arise in the computation of the moments of a particular collection of service time distributions, for which the M|G|∞ busy period and busy cycle become very easy to study, are presented in this paper. It is shown how to overcome them. The busy cycle renewal function, the “peak” and the “modified peak” for the M|G|∞ busy period and busy cycle in the case of those service time distributions are also computed.

 

Key words: Probability distributions, M|G|∞, busy period, busy cycle.
