A simple coupling of renewal processes
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 July 2016
Abstract
We use a simple coupling to prove the classical result that the renewal function U of a zero-delayed renewal process satisfies U(t) – λ . t→λ2μ2/2 as t→∞ if the life-length distribution is of non-lattice type and has finite first and second moments μ and μ2 respectively; λ is the renewal intensity, and is equal to 1/μ.
