In 1968 Lampard determined some limit distributions for a counter process in which the input and output are independent Poisson processes. In 1974 Phatarfod dealt with the generalizations of Lampard's formulas for the case when the input and output form a bivariate Poisson process; however, his reasoning is erroneous. The object of this paper is to determine the correct limit distributions for the generalized process.

We are using the term ‘bivariate Poisson process’ to describe a bivariate point process (N1(.), N2(.)) whose components (or, marginal processes) are Poisson processes. In this we are following Milne (2) who amongst his examples cites the case where N1(.) and N2(.) refer to the input and output processes respectively of the M/G/∈ queueing system. Such a bivariate point process is infinitely divisible. We shall now show that in a stationary M/M/1 queueing system (i.e. Poisson arrivals at rate λ, exponential service at rate µ > λ, single-server) a similar identification of (N1(.), N2(.)) yields a bivariate Poisson process that is not infinitely divisible.

The paper considers an extension to the reversible counters system of Lampard [1]. In Lampard's model the input processes are two independent Poisson processes; this results in a gamma Markov sequence for the time-interval between successive output pulses and a negative binomial Markov sequence for the counts at the times of out-put pulses. We consider the input process to be a bivariate Poisson process and show that the first out-put process given above is not affected, while the second out-put-process becomes of a type studied in the theory of branching processes.

In this article we give some characterizations of Poisson processes, the model which we consider is inspired by Kimeldorf and Thall (1983) and we generalize the results of Chandramohan and Liang (1985). More precisely, we consider an arbitrarily delayed renewal process, at each arrival time we allow the number of arrivals to be i.i.d. random variables, also the mass of each unit atom can be split into k new atoms with the ith new atom assigned to the process Di, i = 1, ···, k. We shall show that the existence of a pair of uncorrelated processes Di, Dj, i ≠ j, implies the renewal process is Poisson. Some other related characterization results are also obtained.

A simple method is proposed for the generation of successive ‘nearest neighbours' to a given origin in ann-dimensional Poisson process. It is shown that the method provides efficient simulation of random Voronoi polytopes. Results are given of simulation studies in two and three dimensions.

A road traffic model with restricted passing, formulated by Newell (1966), is described by conditional cluster point processes and analytically handled by generating functionals of point processes.The traffic distributions in either space or time are in equilibrium, if the fast cars form a Poisson process with constant intensity combined with Poisson-distributed queues behind the slow cars (Brill (1971)). It is shown that this state of equilibrium is stable, which means that this state will be reached asymptotically for general initial traffic distributions. Furthermore the queues behind the slow cars dissolve asymptotically like independent Poisson processes with diminishing rate, also independent of the process of non-queuing cars. To get these results limit theorems for conditional cluster point processes are formulated.

Theorem: A necessary and sufficient condition for the superposition of two ordinary renewal processes to again be a renewal process is that they be Poisson processes.A complete proof of this theorem is given; also it is shown how the theorem follows from the corresponding one for the superposition of two stationary renewal processes.

We consider two independent homogeneous Poisson processes Π0 and Π1 in the plane with intensities λ0 and λ1, respectively. We study additive functionals of the set of Π0-particles within a typical Voronoi Π1-cell. We find the first and the second moments of these variables as well as upper and lower bounds on their distribution functions, implying an exponential asymptotic behavior of their tails. Explicit formulae are given for the number and the sum of distances from Π0-particles to the nucleus within a typical Voronoi Π1-cell.

Intersection densities are introduced for a large class of nonstationary Poisson processes of hypersurfaces and inequalities for them are proved. In doing so, similar results from both Wieacker (1986) and Schneider (2003) are summarized in one theorem and the concept of an associated zonoid of a Poisson process of hypersurfaces is generalized to a nonstationary setting.
