We consider the equivalence of state probabilities of a general stationary process at an arbitrary time and at embedded epochs of a given point process, which is called ASTA (Arrivals See Time Averages). By using an event-conditonal intensity, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for ASTA for a large class of state sets, which determines a state distribution. We do not need any additional assumptions except that the general process has left-hand limits at all points of time. Especially, for a stationary pure-jump process with a point process, ASTA is obtained for all state sets. As an application of those results, Anti-PASTA is obtained for a pure-jump Markov process and a certain class of GSMP (Generalized Semi-Markov Processes), where Anti-PASTA means that ASTA implies that the arrival process is Poisson.

In the paper, we study general Markovian models of loss systems with random resource requirements, in which customers at arrival occupy random quantities of various resources and release them at departure. Customers may request negative quantities of resources, but total amount of resources allocated to customers should be nonnegative and cannot exceed predefined maximum levels. Allocating a negative volume of a resource to a customer leads to a temporary increase in its volume in the system. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the product-form of the stationary probability distribution of the Markov jump process describing the system.

This article reviews results related to event and time averages (EATA) for point process models, including PASTA, ASTA and ANTIPASTA under general hypotheses. In particular, the results for the stationary case relating the Palm and martingale approach are reviewed. The non-stationary case is discussed in the martingale framework where minimal conditions for ASTA generalizing earlier work are presented in a unified framework for the discrete- and continuous-time cases. In addition, necessary and sufficient conditions for ASTA to hold in the stationary case are discussed in the case even when stochastic intensities may not exist and a short proof of the ANTIPASTA results known to date are given.

Exceedances of a non-stationary sequence above a boundary define certain point processes, which converge in distribution under mild mixing conditions to Poisson processes. We investigate necessary and sufficient conditions for the convergence of the point process of exceedances, the point process of upcrossings and the point process of clusters of exceedances. Smooth regularity conditions, as smooth oscillation of the non-stationary sequence, imply that these point processes converge to the same Poisson process. Since exceedances are asymptotically rare, the results are extended to triangular arrays of rare events.

Let with Z(0) = 0 be a random process under investigation and N be a point process associated with Z. Both Z and N are defined on the same probability space. Let with R 0 = 0 denote the consecutive positions of points of N on the half-line . In this paper we present sufficient conditions under which (Z, R) is a new better than used (NBU) process and give several examples of NBU processes satisfying these conditions. In particular we consider the processes in which N is a renewal and a general point process. The NBU property of some semi-Markov processes is also presented.

SummaryIn a pure loss GI/G/1 queueing system, necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the output to be a renewal process. These conditions involve dependence between the service distribution and the renewal function of the arrival process: for example, if pr {service time < ξ} = 0 for some ξ > 0, then it is sufficient for the renewal function to be that of a quasi-Poisson process with index ξ.

The cumulative amount of time that a regenerative or semi-stationary process exceeds a high level and other measures of these exceedances are considered as special cases of a non-decreasing stochastic process of partial sums. We present necessary and sufficient conditions for these exceedance processes to converge in distribution to Poisson processes or processes with stationary independent non-negative increments as the level goes to infinity. We apply our results to random walks, M/M/s queues, and thinnings of point processes.
