Summary

Considered are two mutually independent recurrent processes each consisting of a time series of unitary stimuli. The durations of the intervals between the stimuli in each series are independent of each other and identically distributed with probability density functions φ (t) and ψ (t). Every stimulus of the ψ (t) process annihilates the next stimulus of the φ (t) process. The probability density function of the intervals of the transformed φ (t) process is derived for the case where either the φ (t) or the ψ (t) process is Poisson.
