5.11 Estimating interatom dispatch frequencies Suppose that we have applied the workload approximation procedures summarized in Figure 5.19, resulting in workload estimates ₁, ₂, . . . , _N.

1. Argue, that for the infinite-line-capacity case, a reasonable approximation for
   
   
   
   Thus, a suitable approximation procedure would utilize the results of (*), appropriately normalized (or scaled) to satisfy (**).

2. Show that, for the corresponding zero-line-capacity system, the procedures above apply with Q(N, , j - 1) replaced by Q(N, , j - 1)/(1 - P'_N in (*) and the equation replacing (**).
