We consider a queueing system with k identical servers in parallel, the services being negative exponential with parameter μ. The input is a natural generalisation of the usual general recurrent input. If we denote the sequence of arrival points by {An, n ≧ 0} then the inter-arrival intervals are given by where the ƒi: are (integrable) non-negative functions and {Ui} is a sequence of identically and independently distributed random variables. In the simplest case, p = 0, this is just a general recurrent input. We write U(·) for the probability distribution function of the Un.
