Abstract

Let , be a recurrent Markov renewal process and Mik(t) be the expected value of Nk(t) provided that at the initial moment the system is in state i. It is shown that when the mean recurrence times μ ii are finite, the differences μ ij Mki (t) – t behave asymptotically the same for all states i and k.
