We study the M<sub>t</sub> /G/\infty queue where customers arrive according to a sinusoidal function \lambda <sub>t</sub> = \lambda + A sin(2\pi t/T) and the service rate is \mu . We show that the expected number of customers in the system during peak congestion can be closely approximated by (\lambda + A)/\mu for...
