A distribution-free newsvendor model with balking penalty and random yield [PDF]
Journal of Industrial Engineering and Management, 2015 Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to extend the analysis of the distribution-free newsvendor problem in an environment of customer balking, which occurs when customers are reluctant to buy a product if its available inventory falls below a threshold ...

Service Level Constrained Distribution-Free Newsvendor Problem with Balking Penalty
Mathematics, 2022 This study extends the newsvendor model to address customer balking and its penalty under service-level constraints. The model designed in this study determines the optimal order quantity to derive the maximum expected profit when a customer is reluctant

Balking and reneging in a vacation queueing model [PDF]
Revista Colombiana de Estadística, 1993 We study a single server queueing system in which arrivals follow a compound Poisson process and the service times of customers have exponential distribution. The system is subject to server vacations occuiring randomly in time and in addition the ...

A discrete time single-server queue with balking: economic applications [PDF]
, 2008 This article studies a discrete time single-server queue with finite and infinite buffer where the users have the option to leave the queue upon arrival (balking). We consider two variants of the model in accordance with the balking policies.

On a Processor Sharing Queue that models balking [PDF]
, 2009 We consider the processor sharing M/M/1-PS queue which also models balking. A customer that arrives and sees n others in the system "balks" (i.e., decides not to enter) with probability 1 - bn. If bn is inversely proportional to n + 1, we obtain explicit

A single server Markovian queuing system with limited buffer and reverse balking [PDF]
, 2021 The phenomena are balking can be said to have been observed when a customer who has arrived into queuing system decides not to join it. Reverse balking is a particular type of balking wherein the probability that a customer will balk goes down as the ...

A transient analysis to the M(τ)/M(τ)/k queue with time-dependent parameters
Open Mathematics, 2021 This work considers the infinite multi-server Markovian queueing model with balking and catastrophes where the rates of arrivals, service, balking, and catastrophes are time dependent. The catastrophes arrive as negative customers to the system.
