PRIORITY ORDER AMONG SERVICE STATIONS
BYYoslRo TUMURA
1.Consider the many servers system where the arrival is M, and in every servi㏄ station a customer is served according to the same distribution function B(∫). It is assumed, moreover, that a customer丘nding at his anival all stations being busy must leave the system, and a customer finding some stations idle enters one of them 。at random with equal probabilitγ. Let us call such system‘‘random case’, in brief. B.A. Sevastyanov[1]has proved: If 3(s)has a五nite mean 1/μ, then the systemルηG/m(m)has the fbllowing sta− ’tionary distribution: MI ・ 1}1/Σ6(一・・1・……) ツ=0 −whereρ=2/μ,λbeing an arrival rate・ That is:the equilibrium probabiHtiesρ。 depend only onρand m, but not on the ”distribution B(s). In some practical problems(e.g. telephone exchange)aIl stations are not symmetric 『but ordered so that a customer who arrives at a system is decided(in deterministic) ・to enter the station having the smallest number among idle stations. Or, to every モ盾高b奄獅≠狽奄盾氏iξ1,…,ξ.;1≦ξ《≦〃,〃≦〃1)correspond the probabilit▲es, such that:a .customer who丘nds at his arriva1ξ‘−th stations(i=1,…, n)being idle and all others ’busy enters one of idle stations at random with the above de丘ned probabiHty. Let us consider, i皿this note, the fbrmer case, which we shall call ip brief‘‘priority .ease.,,@It is in question to find not only equi且brium probabihtiesρπthat n stat三〇ns are.busy, but also probab狙tiesπヵthat n−th station is busy. This last problem is ’usefUI in practice, fbr example, to deal with the reliability of a machine system. We have proved in the previous paper the genera1 theorems of queueing theory[2], −which we shall apply to our system.
