Multi-server queueing systems with retrials are widely used to model problems in a call center. We present an explicit formula for an approximation of the queue length distribution in a multi-server retrial queue, by using the Lerch transcendent. Accuracy of our approximation is shown in the numerical examples.

Queueing systems with retrials are widely used to model many problems in call centers, telecommunication networks, and in daily life. We present a very accurate but simple approximate formula for the distribution of the number of retrying customers in the M/G/1 retrial queue.
