Abstract

The loss probabilities of customers in the Mx/GI/1/k, GI/Mx/l/k and their related queues such as server vacation models are compared with respect to the convex order of several characteristics, for example, batch size, of the arrival or service process. In the proof, we give a characterization of a truncation expression for a stationary distribution of a finite Markov chain, which is interesting in itself.
