Homework

1. Consider a knapsack with parameters C=3, K=2, b₁=1, b₂=2, lambda₁=lambda₂=0.6 and mu₁=mu₂=0.3. Find the trunk reservation policy that equalizes blocking probabilities and plot its transition diagram. Write the global balance equations and determine the equilibrium distribution.

2. Study how well the approximate methods work by calculating both the accurate and the simple approximation for the blocking probabilities for the previous example and comparing them to the exact value.
