We study the underlying Markov chain at the epochs immediately after the slot boundaries making emphasis on the computation of its steady-state distribution. To this end we employ numerical inversion and maximum entropy techniques. We also establish a stochastic decomposition property and prove that the continuous-timeM/G/1retrialqueue with batch arrivals and control of admission can be approximated by our discrete-time system. The outcomes agree with known results for special cases.engA discrete-time Geo([X])/G/1 retrial queue with control of admissionjournal articlehttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0307904X0500034Xhttp://www.sciencedirect.comrestricted access519.8Control of admissionDiscrete-time modelMarkov chainMaximum entropyNumerical inversionStochastic ecompositionInvestigación operativa (Matemáticas)1207 Investigación Operativa
