T. Kernane and A. Aïssani 9condition Eξ n > 0 implies that the process X(n) converges in distribution to an improperlimiting sequence, that is, X(n) →∞almost surely, and it can be extended under wideassumptions to the case Eξ n = 0 (see Borovkov [8, Theorem 1.7]).4. Stability <strong>of</strong> the <strong>retrial</strong> queue <strong>with</strong> two types <strong>of</strong> customersConsider now a <strong>retrial</strong> queue <strong>with</strong> two types <strong>of</strong> arriving customers, known as “impatient”and “persistent.” If an impatient customer finds the server busy, then he leaves the system.On the other hand, if a persistent customer arrives and finds the server busy, then he mayhave access to the orbit and waits to be served later according to the <strong>versatile</strong> <strong>retrial</strong> <strong>policy</strong>described above. Assume that the interarrival times {τn 1} <strong>of</strong> type 1 (impatient) and {τ2 n }<strong>of</strong> type 2 (persistent) are sequences <strong>of</strong> independent and identically distributed randomvariables <strong>with</strong> exponential distributions <strong>with</strong> parameters λ 1 > 0andλ 2 > 0, respectively.The service times {σn 1} (for type 1) and {σ2 n } (for type 2) are stationary and ergodic,independent <strong>of</strong> each other and <strong>of</strong> {τn 1}, {τ2 n }, orbit <strong>retrial</strong> times and <strong>retrial</strong> times <strong>of</strong> eachcustomer in orbit, and 0 < E(σn) j < ∞, j = 1,2. The sequences {τn}, 1 {τn}, 2 orbit <strong>retrial</strong>times and <strong>retrial</strong> times <strong>of</strong> each customer in orbit are independent <strong>of</strong> each other. Let X(t)bethenumber<strong>of</strong>customersinorbitattimet. Defines n to be the instant when the (n −1)st service time ends. We consider the process X(n) embedded immediately after times n , (i.e., X(n) = X(s + n)). Let u 1 n and u 2 n defined as in Section 3, and independent <strong>of</strong> thesequences {σn 1} and {σ2 n },exceptthatu2 = u 2 n will generate now the type <strong>of</strong> request <strong>of</strong>service: impatient customer, external persistent customer or persistent customer fromthe orbit at the end <strong>of</strong> the successive service periods. The representation <strong>of</strong> the processX(n)isX(n +1)= ( X(n)+ξ n) +, (4.1)where the driving sequence {ξ n } is now <strong>of</strong> the formξ n = ∏ )(λ2 σn,u 1 1 )n I(u 2 n ≤ λ 1λ 1 + λ 2 + θ + X(n)μ+ ∏ ()(λ2 σn,u 2 1 ) λn I 1λ 1 + λ 2 + θ + X(n)μ
