It is known (Weizsäcker and Winkler (1990)) that for bounded predictable functions H and a Poisson process with jump times exists almost surely, and that in this case both limits are equal. Here we relax the boundedness condition on H. Our tool is a law of large numbers for local L 2-martingales. We show by examples that our condition is close to optimal. Furthermore we indicate a generalization to point processes on more general spaces. The above property is called PASTA (‘Poisson arrivals see time averages') and is heavily used in queueing theory.

The exponential distribution and the Erlang distribution function are been used in numerous areas of mathematics, and specifically in the queueing theory. Such and similar applications emphasize the importance of estimation of error of approximation by the Erlang distribution function. The article gives an analysis and technique of error’s estimation of an accuracy of such approximation, especially in some specific cases.
