ID: geometric-arrival-single-service-queue
Let the independent arrivals satisfy , with . During a busy period, each served customer produces further customers, so the total number served has the total-progeny law of a Galton-Watson process with mean . Its extinction probability solves and is the smaller of and . The queue is positive recurrent for , null recurrent for , and transient for . In the positive recurrent case its stationary distribution is .
