In this paper we consider point processes Nf (t), t > 0, with independent increments and integer-valued jumps whose distribution is expressed in terms of Bernštein functions f with Lévy measure v. We obtain the general expression of the probability generating functions Gf of Nf, the equations governing the state probabilities pkf of Nf, and their corresponding explicit forms. We also give the distribution of the first-passage times Tkf of Nf, and the related governing equation. We study in detail the cases of the fractional Poisson process, the relativistic Poisson process, and the gamma-Poisson process whose state probabilities have the form of a negative binomial. The distribution of the times of jumps with height lj () under the condition N(t) = k for all these special processes is investigated in detail.
