Abstract
We analyze the long-run dynamics of queues in which customers undergo self-selection. We describe the structure and local stability of equil ibria for various capacity adjustment procedures and solve the problem of global stability for the limiting cases. The intermediate cases ca n be guile complicated. We show that one such case leads to chaotic dy namics.
