Abstract
AbstractIn this article the control of entry of customers to a queuing system with s servers is considered. It is assumed that the arrivals form a nonstationary Poisson process with a periodic rate. The service times are assumed to be exponentially distributed with a parameter independent of time. The cost structure considered is the same as that of Naor. It is demonstrated numerically that, like the stationary cases, the average expected benefit of customers per unit of time is a unimodal function of the critical point. And, also, the social critical point is smaller than the individual critical point. These suggest the use of a search technique for finding the social critical point. The results show successful application of the discrete version of the Fibonacci search.
