    On the comparison of queueing systems with their fluid limits (English)
    0 references
    A tandem of multiserver queues is compared with an associated fluid limit. It is shown that, for a certain class of cost functions, the expected cost incurred by the workload processes of the two models is lower for the fluid limit at all times. The analysis uses dynamic programming and phase-type distributions and extends to some other types of queueing models.
