Stochastic approximation and user adaptation in a competitive resource sharing system
Proceedings of the 37th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (Cat. No.98CH36171)
This paper is motivated by the work of Altman and Shimkin 1]. Customers arrive at a service center and must choose between two types of service; a channel that is shared by all currently in it, and a dedicated line.
