Abstract

This paper gives, in the form of Laplace–Stieltjes transforms and generating functions, the joint distribution of the sojourn time and the number of customers in the system at departure for customers in the general M/G/1 queue with processor sharing (M/G/1/PS).

Explicit formulas are given for a number of conditional and unconditional moments, including the variance of the sojourn time of an ‘arbitrary' customer.
