Abstract: We study the queuing system where every customer on arrival makes one of two possible decisions—to join the queue or to go away without taking service never to return. Assuming such a decision to be entirely governed by the queue size at the instant of customer arrival, we obtain the transient solutions for the queuing system M / M /1 using an approximate method. As an illustration of the method, some results of the computations are given.
