&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;In [[queueing theory]], a discipline within the mathematical [[probability theory|theory of probability]], the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Pollaczek–Khinchine formula&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; states a relationship between the queue length and service time distribution Laplace transforms for an [[M/G/1 queue]] (where jobs arrive according to a [[Poisson process]] and have general service time distribution). The term is also used to refer to the relationships between the mean queue length and mean waiting/service time in such a model.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite doi|10.1007/0-387-21525-5_8}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The formula was first published by [[Felix Pollaczek]] in 1930&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite journal|last=Pollaczek|first=F.|authorlink=Felix Pollaczek|year=1930|title=Über eine Aufgabe der Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie|journal=[[Mathematische Zeitschrift]]|volume=32|pages=64–100|doi=10.1007/BF01194620}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and recast in probabilistic terms by [[Aleksandr Khinchin]]&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite journal|last=Khintchine|first=A. Y|authorlink=Aleksandr Khinchin|year=1932|title=Mathematical theory of a stationary queue|journal=[[Matematicheskii Sbornik]]|volume=39|number=4|pages=73–84|url=http://mi.mathnet.ru/rus/msb/v39/i4/p73|accessdate=2011-07-14}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; two years later.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite journal|title=Review: J. W. Cohen, The Single Server Queue|first=Lajos|last=Takács|authorlink=Lajos Takács|journal=[[Annals of Mathematical Statistics]]|volume=42|issue=6|year=1971|pages=2162–2164|doi=10.1214/aoms/1177693087}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite doi|10.1007/s11134-009-9147-4}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In [[ruin theory]] the formula can be used to compute the probability of ultimate ruin (probability of an insurance company going bankrupt).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite doi|10.1002/9780470317044.ch5}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Mean queue length==&lt;br /&gt;
The formula states that the mean queue length &amp;#039;&amp;#039;L&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is given by&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|title=Probability Models|page=192|last=Haigh|first=John|publisher=Springer|year=2002|isbn=1-85233-431-2}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;L = \rho + \frac{\rho^2 + \lambda^2 \operatorname{Var}(S)}{2(1-\rho)}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where &lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the arrival rate of the [[Poisson process]]&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;1/\mu&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the mean of the service time distribution &amp;#039;&amp;#039;S&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\rho=\lambda/\mu&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the [[utilization]]&lt;br /&gt;
*Var(&amp;#039;&amp;#039;S&amp;#039;&amp;#039;) is the [[variance]] of the service time distribution &amp;#039;&amp;#039;S&amp;#039;&amp;#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the mean queue length to be finite it is necessary that &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\rho &amp;lt; 1&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; as otherwise jobs arrive faster than they leave the queue.  &amp;quot;Traffic intensity,&amp;quot; ranges between 0 and 1, and is the mean fraction of time that the server is busy. If the arrival rate &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_a&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is greater than or equal to the service rate &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda_s&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;, the queuing delay becomes infinite. The variance term enters the expression due to [[Palm calculus|Feller&amp;#039;s paradox]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite journal|title=Some Reflections on the Renewal-Theory Paradox in Queueing Theory|first1=Robert B.|last1=Cooper|first2=Shun-Chen|last2=Niu|first3=Mandyam M.|last3=Srinivasan|journal=Journal of Applied Mathematics and Stochastic Analysis|volume=11|number=3|year=1998|pages=355–368|url=http://www.cse.fau.edu/~bob/publications/CNS.4h.pdf|accessdate=2011-07-14}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Mean waiting time==&lt;br /&gt;
If we write &amp;#039;&amp;#039;W&amp;#039;&amp;#039; for the mean time a customer spends in the queue, then &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;W=W&amp;#039;+\mu^{-1}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; where &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;W&amp;#039;&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the mean waiting time (time spent in the queue waiting for service) and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\mu&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the service rate. Using [[Little&amp;#039;s law]], which states that&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;L=\lambda W&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
where&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;#039;&amp;#039;L&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is the mean queue length&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\lambda&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; is the arrival rate of the [[Poisson process]]&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;#039;&amp;#039;W&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is the mean time spent at the queue both waiting and being serviced,&lt;br /&gt;
so&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;W = \frac{\rho + \lambda \mu \text{Var}(S)}{2(\mu-\lambda)} + \mu^{-1}.&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
We can write an expression for the mean waiting time as&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book|first=Peter G.|last=Harrison|authorlink=Peter G. Harrison|first2=Naresh M.|last2=Patel|title=Performance Modelling of Communication Networks and Computer Architectures|publisher=Addison-Wesley|year=1992|page=228|isbn=0-201-54419-9}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;W&amp;#039; = \frac{L}{\lambda} - \mu^{-1} = \frac{\rho + \lambda \mu \text{Var}(S)}{2(\mu-\lambda)}.&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Queue length transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Writing π(&amp;#039;&amp;#039;z&amp;#039;&amp;#039;) for the [[probability-generating function]] of the number of customers in the queue&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;diagle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite doi|10.1007/0-387-22859-4_5}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\pi(z) = \frac{(1-z)(1-\rho)g(\lambda(1-z))}{g(\lambda(1-z))-z}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where g(&amp;#039;&amp;#039;s&amp;#039;&amp;#039;) is the Laplace transform of the service time probability density function.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite doi|10.1088/0967-1846/3/1/003}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Sojourn time transform==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Writing W&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;*&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;(&amp;#039;&amp;#039;s&amp;#039;&amp;#039;) for the [[Laplace–Stieltjes transform]] transform of the waiting time distribution,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;diagle&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite doi|10.1007/0-387-22859-4_5}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;W^\ast(s) = \frac{(1-\rho)s g(s)}{s-\lambda(1-g(s))}&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
where again g(&amp;#039;&amp;#039;s&amp;#039;&amp;#039;) is the Laplace transform of serivice time probability density function. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;n&amp;#039;&amp;#039;th moments can be obtained by differentiating the transform &amp;#039;&amp;#039;n&amp;#039;&amp;#039; times, multiplying by (-1)&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;n&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; and evaluating at &amp;#039;&amp;#039;s&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;amp;nbsp;=&amp;amp;nbsp;0.&lt;br /&gt;
