We consider two balking queue models with different types of information about delays. Potential customers arrive according to a Poisson process, and they decide whether to stay or balk based on the available delay information. In the first model, an arriving customer learns a rough range of the...

We consider single-item (r, q) and (s, T) inventory systems with integer-valued demand processes. While most of the inventory literature studies continuous approximations of these models and establishes joint convexity properties of the policy parameters in the continuous space, we show that...
