Time-Varying Queue Surge: Max Queue and Clearance Time Queue: M/M/1 with time-varying arrival λ(t) and constant service μ. Parameters: μ=5/min; λ(t)= 2/min for 0 ≤ t < 30 min, 6/min for 30 ≤ t < 90 min, 2/min for t ≥ 90 min. Initial condition: empty at t=0. Rules: Fluid approximation for expected queue: dQ/dt = λ(t) − μ when λ≠μ, reflecting at 0; piecewise linear in expectation. Max queue occurs near end of overload interval; clearance time solves Q(t_clear)=0 with λ

Thought Process:

**Preparing results presentation** I'm planning to present the results with details like "Expected maximum queue size: 60 customers; Clearance time after t=90: 20 minutes; Absolute clearance time: t=110 min." I think it's important to state the rule or formula before using it. So, I’ll include a subheading called "Rules" where I can outline the formula. Now, it's time to put everything together and produce the final output!

# Time-Varying Queue Surge: Max Queue and Clearance Time ## Rule (Fluid Approximation) - Differential equation: dQ/dt = λ(t) − μ when Q(t) > 0; reflecting at 0. - Piecewise integrate with given λ(t). ## Piecewise Queue Dynamics - 0 ≤ t < 30: λ=2, μ=5 ⇒ dQ/dt = −3; reflecting at 0 ⇒ Q(t)=0. - 30 ≤ t < 90: λ=6, μ=5 ⇒ dQ/dt = +1 ⇒ Q(t) = (t − 30). So Q(90−) = 90−30 = 60. - t ≥ 90: λ=2, μ=5 ⇒ dQ/dt = −3 ⇒ Q(t) = 60 − 3(t − 90), until it hits 0. ## Maximum Queue During Surge - By rule, max occurs at end of overload interval (t=90). - Q_max = Q(90) = 60 customers. ## Clearance Time After t=90 - Solve Q(t)=0 with λ<μ: 60 − 3(t − 90) = 0 ⇒ t − 90 = 20 min. - Clearance occurs 20 minutes after t=90, i.e., at t=110 minutes. ## Final Answer - Expected maximum queue size: 60 customers (at t=90). - Time after t=90 to clear: 20 minutes (clears at t=110).
