Abstract :
In this paper, we study a single server Markovian queue with state dependent
accessible services, reneging and feedback of customers. The server can accommodate at the
most d customers in the service station, after which the new arrivals have to wait in the
primary queue of innite waiting space. All arrivals demand First Essential Service (FES),
after completing FES, customers decide to join the second optional Service (SOS) with a
probability. The services occur singly according to rst come rst served service discipline
and service times in FES and SOS are exponentially distributed. A customer waiting in the
primary queue may get impatient and renege from the queue. However, after completing SOS,
if the customer is not satised with the service quality, he may join the queue again (feedback).
The system is analyzed by a quasi birth-death process and the steady state probabilities of
the model are obtained using matrix geometric method. Some performance measures and
numerical illustrations are also provided. An optimization of the cost function is performed
to nd the optimal service rate that minimizes the total cost.
