ab: Summary: We consider a finite buffer size discrete-time multiple working
    vacation queue with changeover time. Employing the supplementary
    variable and embedded Markov chain techniques, we derive the steady
    state system length distributions at different time epochs. Based on
    the various system length distributions, the blocking probability,
    probability mass function of sojourn time and other performance
    measures along with some numerical examples are discussed. Then, we use
    the parabolic method to search the optimum value of the service rate in
    working vacation period under a given cost structure.
