Abstract

This paper extends the applicability of the pricing results of Mendelson and Whang (Oper. Res. 38 (5) (1990) 870) and Balachandran and Radhakrishnan (Management Sci. 40 (10) (1994) 353) for congested service facilities by considering general, class-dependent, service time distributions. Two theorems for nonpreemptive M/G/1 queues and preemptive-resume M/G/1 queues are presented.
