Transient and steady state analysis of an M/M/1 queue with balking, catastrophes, server failures and repairs

Recently Krishna Kumar and Pavai [10] have obtained the transient distribution for the queue length of the system an M/M/1 queueing system with catastrophes, server failures using a direct technique. In this paper, we consider Krishna Kumar and Pavai [10] model with balking feature. Based on the generating function technique and a direct approach, transient and steady state analysis of the queue length is carried out Krishna Kumar and Pavai [10] model can be deduced from the new model. Moreover, some other special cases are shown as special cases of our solution.
