Title
Refining diffusion approximations for queues
Abstract
This note illustrates the need to refine diffusion approximations for queues. Diffusion approximations are developed in several different ways for the mean waiting time in a GI/G/1 queue, yielding different results, all of which fail obvious consistency checks with bounds and exact values.
