Steady-state analysis of load-balancing algorithms in the sub-Halfin–Whitt regime

X Liu, L Ying - Journal of Applied Probability, 2020 - cambridge.org
We study a class of load-balancing algorithms for many-server systems (N servers). Each
server has a buffer of size (ra positive integer). The proof of the main result is based on the …
