Abstract
We derive the waiting time distribution of the lowest class in an accumulating priority (AP) queue with positive Lévy input. The priority of an infinitesimal customer (particle) is a function of their class and waiting time in the system, and the particles with the highest AP are the next to be processed. To this end we introduce a new method that relies on the construction of a workload overtaking process and solving a first-passage problem using an appropriate stopping time.
