We propose a method for determiig the characteristics of a sigle-chael closed queueig system with a expoetial distributio of the time geeratio of service requests ad arbitrary distributios of the service times. I order to icrease the system capacity, two service modes (the mai mode ad overload mode), with the service time distributio fuctios F( x ) ad F ( x ) respectively, are used. The overload mode starts fuctioig if at the begiig of service of the ext customer the umber of customers i the system ξ( t ) satisfies the coditio ξ ( t) > h. The retur to the mai mode carried out at the begiig of service of the customer, for which ξ ( t) = h, where h < h. The Laplace trasforms for the distributio of the umber of customers i the system durig the busy period ad for the distributio fuctio of the legth of the busy period are foud. The developed algorithm for calculatig the statioary characteristics of the system is tested with the help of a simulatio model costructed with the assistace of GPSS World tools. Keywords: queueig system with a fiite umber of sources, hysteretic strategy for service time, potetials method, statioary characteristics. Itroductio Closed queueig systems are widely used as models to evaluate characteristics of the iformatio systems, data etworks ad queueig processes i productio, trasport, trade, logistics ad service systems []. The closed system is also called the system with a fiite umber of sources or Egset system. Suppose that a sigle-chael queueig system receives service requests from m idetical sources. Each source is alterately o ad off. A source is off whe it has a service request beig served, otherwise the source is o. A source i the o-state geerates a ew service request after a expoetially distributed time (the geeratio time) with mea / λ. The sources act idepedetly of each other.

2 3 Y. Zherovyi, B. Kopytko The service time of a service request has a arbitrary distributio. A service request, that is geerated whe chael is occupied, waits i the queue. The arrival rate of customers for a closed system at time t depeds o the umber of customers i the system ξ ( t ) ad is equal to λ( mξ ( t )). Such a flow of customers is called the Poisso flow arrivals of the secod kid [, p. 35]. I the case of a expoetial service time distributio, the formulas are kow for the statioary distributio of the umber of customers for a sigle-chael closed system [, p. 37], ad for a multichael closed system [3, p. 34]. I [4] usig the method of embedded Markov chai, a algorithm is costructed to determie the statioary distributio of the umber of customers for a sigle-chael closed system with a arbitrary distributio of the service time. I order to icrease the system capacity, threshold strategies of the service itesity (service time) chage are used i queueig systems. I the geeral case, the essece of this strategy is that the service time distributio depeds o the umber of customers i the system at the begiig of each customer service [5, 6]. With the help of the potetials method, we have developed a efficiet algorithm for computig the statioary distributio of the umber of customers i the systems with threshold fuctioig strategies [5-], icludig a sigle-chael closed system with service time, depedet o the queue legth [5]. The potetials method is a geeralizatio of a approach proposed by V. Korolyuk [] for the study of a lower semicotiuous radom walk to the case of several radom walks. The potetial method with a sigle basic radom walk was used to α study the M /G//N system with a sigle fixed service time distributio []. For the study of systems with several modes of operatio, it is ecessary to use as may basic radom walks ad their potetials as there are differet modes of fuctioig. Sice the arrival rate of customers for a closed system depeds o the umber of customers i the system, usig the potetials method eve i the case of a covetioal closed system with a sigle fuctio of the service time distributio F( x ), for each value of the umber of customers ξ ( t) = {,, K, m }, it is ecessary to cosider a selected basic radom walk. I this paper we apply the potetials method to study a sigle-chael closed system with two-threshold hysteretic switchig of the service times. Two service modes (the mai mode ad overload mode), with the service time distributio fuctios F( x ) ad F ( x ) respectively, are used. The overload mode starts fuctioig if at time t of the begiig of service of the ext customer, the umber of customers i the system satisfies the coditio ξ ( t) > h. The retur to the mai mode carried out at the begiig of service of the customer, for which ξ ( t) = h, where h < h < m.. Basic radom walks Deote by P the coditioal probability, provided that at the iitial time the umber of customers i the queueig system is equal to {,,, K, m }, ad

Let T iλ deote a expoetially distributed radom variable with parameter i λ.
