Title
On the price of anarchy in a single-server queue with heterogeneous service valuations induced by travel costs.
Abstract
•We develop a single-server model with heterogeneous service valuations that are explicitly derived from customers' dispersion with intensity depending on the distance from the server's location.•If the intensity function converges to a positive constant then price of anarchy converges to 2.•Under some conditions the limit of price of anarchy exists and has a simple presentation.•If the intensity function decreases (increases) then the limit of price of anarchy is smaller (larger) than 2.•If the quotient of functions converges to a positive constant then the limits of their price of anarchy coincide.
