Abstract

We derive the limiting waiting-time distribution F"W of a model described by the Lindley-type equation W=max{0,B-A-W}, where B has a polynomial distribution. This exact solution is applied to derive approximations of F"W when B is generally distributed on a finite support. We provide error bounds for these approximations.
