Abstract

The basic queueing system considered in this paper is the M/G/1 processor-sharing queue with or without impatience and with finite or infinite capacity. Under some mild assumptions, a criterion for the validity of the reduced-service-rate approximation is established when service times are heavy tailed. This result is applied to various models based on M/G/1 processor-sharing queues.
