A multivariate reward process defined on a semi-Markov process is studied. Transform results for the distributions of the multivariate reward and related processes are derived through the method of supplementary variables and the Markov renewal equations. These transform results enable the asymptotic behavior to be analyzed. A class of first-passage time distributions of the multivariate reward processes is also investigated.

In this paper, I analyze the distributional properties of the busy period in an on-off fluid queue and the first passage time in a fluid queue driven by a finite state Markov process. In particular, I show that the first passage time has a IFR distribution and the busy period in the Anick-Mitra-Sondhi model has a DFR distribution.

The asymptotic behavior of the first-passage-time p.d.f. through a constant boundary is studied when the boundary approaches the endpoints of the diffusion interval. We show that for a class of diffusion processes possessing a steady-state distribution this p.d.f. is approximately exponential, the mean being the average first-passage time to the boundary. The proof is based on suitable recursive expressions for the moments of the first-passage time.

Using a matrix approach we discuss the first-passage time of a Markov process to exceed a given threshold or for the maximal increment of this process to pass a certain critical value. Conditions under which this first-passage time possesses various ageing properties are studied. Some results previously obtained by Li and Shaked (1995) are extended.

Abstract The renewal process generated by the return times of semi-Markov process to a given state is considered in the paper. The return time to a state j and also a first passage time from a given state i to the state j of semi-Markov process are basic concepts that are used to determine this process. The systems of equations for distributions, expectations and secondond moments of these random variables are presented. Theorem concerning the asymptotic distribution of the considered renewal process is presented in this article. Moreover an illustrative example from the reliability theory is presented in the paper.

The current work continues the author’s investigation in the field of extreme values analysis. The investigation is concerned with the first passage time of a level u for a wide class of regenerative random processes. The common statement of the problem in most of works in the field under consideration dealt with cases when time of observation, t, and u tend to infinity. Alternatively, we investigate the case when t tends to infinity, whereas u is a fixed number. We establish a general limit theorem for the first passage time of a level u by a regenerative process. This topic is closely associated with the asymptotic behavior of extreme values of regenerative processes. In proving the main result, we establish an important lemma concerning the asymptotic behavior of probabilities for a class of random sums, which may be of independent interest. Necessity of the study of such sums occurs in many areas: mathematical reliability theory, queuing theory, some statistical physics problems. In addition, the work provides examples of applications of the obtained general results to some problems, which arise in applied areas: model of counters of type Geiger-Muller, estimation of the reliability of a redundant system with recovery, the problem of the first passage time of a level u by queue length in the queuing system M/M/1.
