4. Numerical Examples
- (i)
- —This is the Erlang distribution of order 5 for the arrival process. Here

- and .
- The standard deviation for this process is 4.5787.
- (iv)
- —It is the negatively correlated distribution for the arrival process, for which
- and .
- The standard deviation for this process is 1.0392 and since this arrival process is correlated, it can be verified that the 1-lag correlation is given by −0.3267.

- and .

- As is to be expected, the mean number of customers in the system increases as L is increased. This is due to the fact that as L is increased, the rate of service is decreased and thus an increase in the mean number of customers in the system. However, the rate of increase (as a function of L) is higher as is decreased.
- increases as the arrival rate is increased. Furthermore, the rate of increase of (with respect to L) is higher as is increased.
- The server will be more busy if there are more customers in the system and so is the measure . Also, an increase in L and in will result in an increase in and similarly an increase in will decrease the measure .
- Obviously, a higher degradation in the services provided will lead to the server being more busy and this is seen in the measure .
- Both the degradation and the corresponding classical vacation models have almost the same mean number of customers in the system, and also follow the same pattern as we change the service and vacation processes.
- Furthermore, the positively correlated arrival process gives the highest mean number of customers among all the considered arrival processes which reflects the role of correlation.
- The hyperexponential service gives more mean number of customers than the Erlang and exponential service.
- Erlang, exponential, and negatively correlated arrivals have the same pattern as the service and the vacation processes are varied. Similarly, the hyperexponential and positively correlated arrivals have the same pattern.
- For the negatively correlated arrivals, as the magnitude of the correlation coefficient decreases, the mean number of costumers in the system increases.
- For the positively correlated arrivals, as the magnitude of correlation coefficient increases, the mean number in the system increases.
- Furthermore, the effect of the positively correlated arrivals is seen more than the negatively correlated arrivals as the magnitude of the correlation is varied.
- For the mean number of customers in the system :
- decreases if there is an increase in as well as in .
- An increase in results in an increase in .
- More degradation in the service rate will result in a higher value for .
- An increase in L will decrease the initially but after a certain point we notice an increase in . The value of L for which the is smallest depends on all the system parameters.
- For the probability of the server being in busy state :
- An increase in will decrease the probability, , but an increase in increases .
- The more degradation is present in the services, the busier the server is.
- The parameter has a negligible effect on as compared to other parameters. However, an increment in will decrease the .
- Increment in L will increase the .
- The probability of the server being in vacation state () behaves opposite to the as the system parameters are varied.
