A Difference Equation Approach to the Optimal Control of a Multiclass Queue with Discounted Costs.

Abstract

This report considers the problem of dynamically selecting one of a finite number of customer classes to serve so that the total expected discounted cost over an infinite horizon is minimized. Decisions are allowed at the time of service completion, or if the server is idle, at the time of customer arrival.
