The techniques used by Doeblin and Chung to obtain ordinary limit laws (central limit laws, weak and strong laws of large numbers, and laws of the iterated logarithm) for Markov chains, are extended to obtain analogous functional limit laws for stochastic processes which have embedded processes satisfying these laws. More generally, it is shown how functional limit laws of a stochastic process are related to those of a process embedded in it. The results herein unify and extend many existing limit laws for Markov, semi-Markov, queueing, regenerative, semi-stationary, and subordinated processes.

The stable GI/G/s queue (ρ < 1) is sometimes studied using the “fact” that epochs just prior to an arrival when all servers are idle constitute an embedded persistent renewal process. This is true for the GI/G/1 queue, but a simple GI/G/2 example is given here with all interarrival time and service time moments finite and ρ < 1 in which, not only does the system fail to be empty ever with some positive probability, but it is never empty. Sufficient conditions are then given to rule out such examples. Implications of embedded persistent renewal processes in the GI/G/1 and GI/G/s queues are discussed. For example, functional limit theorems for time-average or cumulative processes associated with a large class of GI/G/s queues in light traffic are implied.

This paper is devoted to the investigation of limit theorems for extremes with random sample size under general dependence-independence conditions for samples and random sample size indexes. Limit theorems of weak convergence type are obtained as well as functional limit theorems for extremal processes with random sample size indexes.
