In this paper we, firstly, present a recursive formula of the empirical estimator of the semi-Markov kernel. Then a non-parametric estimator of the expected cumulative operational time for semi-Markov systems is proposed. The asymptotic properties of this estimator, as the uniform strongly consistency and normality are given. As an illustration example, we give a numerical application.
Let , n ∈ N, be a sequence of homogeneous semi-Markov processes (HSMP) on a countable set K, all with the same initial p.d. concentrated on a non-empty proper subset J. The subrenewal kernels which are restrictions of the corresponding renewal kernels on K×K to J×J are assumed to be suitably convergent to a renewal kernel P (on J×J). The HSMP on J corresponding to P is assumed to be strongly recurrent. Let [; j ∈ J] be the stationary p.d. of the embedded Markov chain. In terms of the averaged...
In this paper, we consider a batch arrival MX/M/1 queue model with working breakdown. The server may be subject to a service breakdown when it is busy, rather than completely stoping service, it will decrease its service rate. For this model, we analyze a two-dimensional Markov chain and give its quasi upper triangle transition probability matrix. Under the system stability condition, we derive the probability generating function (PGF) of the stationary queue length, and then obtain its stochastic...
In this paper we consider heavy tailed Markov renewal processes and we prove that, suitably renormalised, they converge in law towards the -stable regenerative set. We then apply these results to the strip wetting model which is a random walk constrained above a wall and rewarded or penalized when it hits the strip where is a given positive number. The convergence result that we establish allows to characterize the scaling limit of this process at criticality.
We consider regenerative processes with values in some general Polish space. We define their -big excursions as excursions such that , where is some given functional on the space of excursions which can be thought of as, e.g., the length or the height of . We establish a general condition that guarantees the convergence of a sequence of regenerative processes involving the convergence of -big excursions and of their endpoints, for all in a set whose closure contains . Finally, we provide...
