摘要
Lin and Kumar (1984) introduced a control model with a single queue and two heterogeneous servers. They showed, using policy iteration, that the slower server should only be used if the queue length is above a certain level, i.e., the optimal policy is of threshold type. In this note we give a simple iterative proof of this result.
