Asymptotics of random processes with immigration. II: Convergence to stationarity.

Abstract: Let

X_{1}, X_{2}, l d o t s

be random elements of the Skorokhod space

D (m a t h b b R)

and

x i_{1}, x i_{2}, l d o t s

positive random variables such that the pairs

(X_{1}, x i_{1}), (X_{2}, x i_{2}), l d o t s

are independent and identically distributed. We call the random process

(Y (t))_{t i n m a t h b b R}

defined by

Y (t) := s u m_{k g e q 0} X_{k + 1} (t - x i_{1} - l d o t s - x i_{k}) 1_{x i_{1} + l d o t s + x i_{k} l e q t}

,

t i n m a t h b b R

random process with immigration at the epochs of a renewal process. Assuming that

X_{k}

and

x i_{k}

are independent and that the distribution of

x i_{1}

is nonlattice and has finite mean we investigate weak convergence of

(Y (t))_{t i n m a t h b b R}

as

t o i n f t y

in

D (m a t h b b R)

endowed with the

J_{1}

-topology. The limits are stationary processes with immigration.
