Abstract

This paper discusses the response process when a Poisson process interacts with a renewal process in such a way that one or more points of the Poisson process eliminate a random number of consecutive points of the renewal process. A queuing situation is devised such that the c.d.f. of the length of the busy period is the same as the c.d.f. of the length of time intervals of the renewal response process. The Laplace-Stieltjes transform is obtained and from this the expectation of the time intervals of the response process is derived. For a special case necessary and sufficient conditions for the response process to be a Poisson process are found.
