Abstract
The question of stability for the
M/G/∞ queue with gated service is
investigated using a Foster–Lyapunov drift criterion. The
necessary and sufficient condition for positive recurrence is shown to
be the finiteness of the first moment of the service time distribution,
thus weakening the stability condition given in Browne et al.
[3].
