Abstract
Under general conditions for c-server loss systems, Bc, the fraction of customers lost, is decreasing and convex. We study the shape of {Bc} for retrial queues. We show Bc+1>Bc is possible. For arbitrary arrivals and exponential service, we show {Bc} is decreasing, and report simulations where it is convex.
