Inequalities for Charlier polynomials with application to teletraffic theory (Q1105292)

The service system studied is a Brockmeyer system, which consists of two finite groups of servers without waiting positions. Customers arrive at the first group according to a Poisson process and customers overflowing the first group are routed to the second group; customers overflowing the second group are lost. Service times are mutually independent and exponentially distributed. Based on a number of inequalities for ratios of Charlier polynomials, simple and accurate bounds are obtained for the equilibrium time congestion of the second group.
