The explicit heavy-traffic limit conjecture with mobility

Assume θ>0\theta>0. Let X=(X1,X2)\boldsymbol{X}=(X_1,X_2) be the stationary queue-length vector, let ρ\rho be the traffic intensity, and define

ξ=(ρ11ρ1,1).\boldsymbol{\xi}^*=\left(\frac{\rho_1}{1-\rho_1},1\right).

Explicit heavy-traffic limit conjecture. As ρ1\rho\uparrow1,

X()log(1ρ)11log(1ρ1)ξ.\frac{\boldsymbol{X}(\infty)}{-\log(1-\rho)}\Longrightarrow\frac{1}{1-\log(1-\rho_1)}\,\boldsymbol{\xi}^*.

This conjecture gives the explicit limit suggested by the conjectured empty-system exponential rate and would identify the exact logarithmic heavy-traffic asymptotics. The source presents it as a conjecture; the preceding theorem proves only tightness and an upper bound on accumulation points.
