Limit distributions of the number of renewals and waiting times
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 July 2016
Abstract
Let {Xn} be an infinite sequence of independent non-negative random variables. Let the distribution function of Xi, i = 1, 2, …, be either F1 or F2 where F1 and F2 are distinct. Set Sn = X1 + X2 + … + Xn and for t > 0 define 
and Zt = SN(t)+1 – t. The limit distributions of N(t), Yt and Zt as t → ∞ are obtained when F1 and F2 are in the domains of attraction of stable laws with exponents α1 and α2, respectively and Sn properly normalised has the composition of these two stable laws as its limit distribution.
