ABSTRACT
We analyze an M/G/1 queue with Poisson arrivals, three optional services,
random breakdowns and deterministic repair. The first service is essential and other
three services are optional. All arriving customers demand first essential service and
after completion of first service, the customer has the option of choosing any one of
the three optional services with probability Otherwise the customer can leave the
system without choosing any of the three optional services with probability. The
server is subject to random breakdowns and just after a breakdown the server
undergoes repairs of fixed (constant) duration ( ) The supplementary variable
technique is used to find explicitly the probability generating function of the number in
the system and the mean number in the system.
Keywords: Poisson arrivals, general service times, probability generating function,
random breakdowns, idle state, steady state, deterministic repairs, supplementary
variable technique.

1. INTRODUCTION
Queueing and Queueing networks occupy a prominent role in the performance analysis of a
wide range of systems in computer-communications, logistics and flexible manufacturing
systems. Further, queueing network models have been successfully applied in the
optimization of computer systems, telecommunication systems and broadcasting. System
design and optimization issues include dynamic routing control of customers (packets), trunk
designs, resource allocation, load balancing and throughput maximization.
There is a natural interest in the study of queueing systems with server vacations or
interruptions. Several excellent surveys on single serving queueing models with vacations
have been studied by Doshi [3], Fuhrman [4], Gaver [5], Levi and Yechilai [7], Madan [8, 9,
10], Thangaraj and Vanitha [12].
