On Hilbert functions of graded modules

This “splitting techniques” for MARKOV chains developed by NUMMELIN (1978a) and ATHREYA and NEY (1978b) are used to derive an imbedded renewal process in WOLD's point process with MARKOV-correlated intervals. This leads to a simple proof of renewal theorems for such processes. In particular, a key renewal theorem is proved, from which analogues to both BLACKWELL's and BREIMAN's forms of the renewal theorem can be deduced.     

Ruin probability in the dual risk model with two revenue streams

The dual risk model describes the surplus of a company with fixed expense rate and occasional random income inflows, called gains. Consider the dual risk model with two streams of gains. Type I gains arrive according to a Poisson process, and type II gains arrive according to a general renewal process. We show that the survival probability of the company can be expressed in terms of the survival probability in a dual risk process with renewal arrivals with initial reserve 0, and the survival probability in the dual risk process with Poisson arrivals in finite time.     

更新过程理论在交通流上的一个应用

一个更新过程的两个随机变量的分布:间隔分布、计数分布是1—1对应的,但由间隔分布求对应的计数分布的问题尚未很好地解决。在道路断面观测交通流可得到一更新过程,车头时距和车辆到达分别是其间隔和计数。时距分布容易观测得到,而到达分布的观测却较难。因此上述数学问题的解决对交通流理论是非常有意义的,本文将研究之。

Zur Überlagerung von Erneuerungsprozessen

Summary If a finite sequence of independent (not necessarily stationary) renewal processes is given, a superposition process can easily be defined as the union of all point sequences represented by the given processes. The properties of such superposition processes are investigated. First, a necessary and sufficient condition for a superposition process to be a renewal process is given. Essentially, this condition reads thus: the given processes must be Poisson processes. The main result given in this paper is a limit theorem for superposition processes which shows that, even with largely arbitrary renewal processes superimposed, the superposition process has local properties which approach the properties of the Poisson process as the number of given processes increases. The theorem contains some well-known special theorems of this type [e.g. Khintchine, 1960; Franken, 1963].

Delayed renewal process with uncertain interarrival times

Delayed renewal process is a special type of renewal process in which the first interarrival time is quite different from the others. This paper first proposes an uncertain delayed renewal process whose interarrival times are regarded as uncertain variables. Then it gives an uncertainty distribution of delayed renewal process and an elementary delayed renewal theorem.     

Weibull renewal processes

We study the class of renewal processes with Weibull lifetime distribution from the point of view of the general theory of point processes. We investigate whether a Weibull renewal process can be expressed as a Cox process. It is shown that a Weibull renewal process is a Cox process if and only if 0<1, where denotes the shape parameter of the Weibull distribution. The Cox character of the process is analyzed. It is shown that the directing measure of the process is continuous and singular.     

Fuzzy random renewal process and renewal reward process

So far, there have been several concepts about fuzzy random variables and their expected values in literature. One of the concepts defined by Liu and Liu (2003a) is that the fuzzy random variable is a measurable function from a probability space to a collection of fuzzy variables and its expected value is described as a scalar number. Based on the concepts, this paper addresses two processes—fuzzy random renewal process and fuzzy random renewal reward process. In the fuzzy random renewal process, the interarrival times are characterized as fuzzy random variables and a fuzzy random elementary renewal theorem on the limit value of the expected renewal rate of the process is presented. In the fuzzy random renewal reward process, both the interarrival times and rewards are depicted as fuzzy random variables and a fuzzy random renewal reward theorem on the limit value of the long-run expected reward per unit time is provided. The results obtained in this paper coincide with those in stochastic case or in fuzzy case when the fuzzy random variables degenerate to random variables or to fuzzy variables.     

CHARACTERIZATION FOR BINOMIAL SEQUENCES AMONG RENEWAL SEQUENCES

In this paper a binomial sequence is defined as a special sequence whose renewal lifes are identically distributed with a common geometric distribution. Therefore, it can be regarded as the discrete version of a Poisson process. Mainly, we discuss the characterization problem associated with binomial sequences. First, we sketch the properties of some important quantities of a renewal sequence. The emphasis of discussion is laid on the current life, the residual life and the total life. Then, we describe three main approaches to identify a geometric distribution. Finally, based on these concepts and techniques, we give a series of characterization theorems for a binomial sequence. These results are quite similar to those obtained for a Poisson process.     

Distribution of order statistics of waiting times in an ordinary renewal process and the covariance of the renewal increments

The joint distribution of inter–renewal times and the number of renewals is used to derive joint and marginal distributions of order statistics of waiting times of an ordinary renewal process. Also, expressions are obtained for the covariance function of the number of renewals and of the renewal increments in an ordinary renewal counting process in terms of the renewal function     

Uncertain calculus with renewal process

Uncertain calculus is a branch of mathematics that deals with differentiation and integration of function of uncertain processes. As a fundamental concept, uncertain integral has been defined with respect to canonical process. However, emergencies such as economic crisis and war occur occasionally, which may cause the uncertain process a sudden change. So far, uncertain renewal process has been employed to model these jumps. This paper will present a new uncertain integral with respect to renewal process. Besides, this paper will propose a type of uncertain differential equation driven by both canonical process and renewal process.     

A Markov Renewal Approach to M/G/1 Type Queues with Countably Many Background States

We consider the stationary distribution of the M/GI/1 type queue when background states are countable. We are interested in its tail behavior. To this end, we derive a Markov renewal equation for characterizing the stationary distribution using a Markov additive process that describes the number of customers in system when the system is not empty. Variants of this Markov renewal equation are also derived. It is shown that the transition kernels of these renewal equations can be expressed by the ladder height and the associated background state of a dual Markov additive process. Usually, matrix analysis is extensively used for studying the M/G/1 type queue. However, this may not be convenient when the background states are countable. We here rely on stochastic arguments, which not only make computations possible but also reveal new features. Those results are applied to study the tail decay rates of the stationary distributions. This includes refinements of the existence results with extensions.

Ruin probabilities in the discrete time renewal risk model

In this paper, we study the discrete time renewal risk model, an extension to Gerber’s compound binomial model. Under the framework of this extension, we study the aggregate claim amount process and both finite-time and infinite-time ruin probabilities. For completeness, we derive an upper bound and an asymptotic expression for the infinite-time ruin probabilities in this risk model. Also, we demonstrate that the proposed extension can be used to approximate the continuous time renewal risk model (also known as the Sparre Andersen risk model) as Gerber’s compound binomial model has been proposed as a discrete-time version of the classical compound Poisson risk model. This allows us to derive both numerical upper and lower bounds for the infinite-time ruin probabilities defined in the continuous time risk model from their equivalents under the discrete time renewal risk model. Finally, the numerical algorithm proposed to compute infinite-time ruin probabilities in the discrete time renewal risk model is also applied in some of its extensions.     

Quenched large deviation principle for words in a letter sequence

When we cut an i.i.d. sequence of letters into words according to an independent renewal process, we obtain an i.i.d. sequence of words. In the annealed large deviation principle (LDP) for the empirical process of words, the rate function is the specific relative entropy of the observed law of words w.r.t. the reference law of words. In the present paper we consider the quenched LDP, i.e., we condition on a typical letter sequence. We focus on the case where the renewal process has an algebraic tail. The rate function turns out to be a sum of two terms, one being the annealed rate function, the other being proportional to the specific relative entropy of the observed law of letters w.r.t. the reference law of letters, with the former being obtained by concatenating the words and randomising the location of the origin. The proportionality constant equals the tail exponent of the renewal process. Earlier work by Birkner considered the case where the renewal process has an exponential tail, in which case the rate function turns out to be the first term on the set where the second term vanishes and to be infinite elsewhere. In a companion paper the annealed and the quenched LDP are applied to the collision local time of transient random walks, and the existence of an intermediate phase for a class of interacting stochastic systems is established.

On the exact distribution and mean value function of a geometric process with exponential interarrival times

The geometric process is considered when the distribution of the first interarrival time is assumed to be exponential. An analytical expression for the one dimensional probability distribution of this process is obtained as a solution to a system of recursive differential equations. A power series expansion is derived for the geometric renewal function by using an integral equation and evaluated in a computational perspective. Further, an extension is provided for the power series expansion of the geometric renewal function in the case of the Weibull distribution.     

On a class of renewal risk model with random income

In this paper, we consider a renewal risk process with random premium income based on a Poisson process. Generating function for the discounted penalty function is obtained. We show that the discounted penalty function satisfies a defective renewal equation and the corresponding explicit expression can be obtained via a compound geometric tail. Finally, we consider the Laplace transform of the time to ruin, and derive the closed‐form expression for it when the claims have a discrete K_m distribution (i.e. the generating function of the distribution function is a ratio of two polynomials of order m∈?⁺).
