Abstract

The transient analysis of F-policy retrial queue has been carried out using Runge–Kutta method of fourth order. The server is unreliable and may break down while providing service to the customers. The failed server is sent to the repair facility where after required setup time, the repair is done as per pre-specified rule known as ‘threshold recovery policy’ for the repair. The cost optimization of the system has been carried out and threshold parameters are computed.
