Abstract

In this article, we study comparison theorems for stochastic functionals like V(∞;C) = sup0≤t {M(t) − C(t)} or V(T;C) = sup0≤t≤T {M(t) − C(t)}, where {M(t)} and {C(t)} are two independent nondecreasing processes with stationary increments. We will tacitly assume that the considered stochastic functionals are proper random variables. We prove that V(T;C′) ≤icx V(T;C) ≤icx V(T;C′′), where and C′′(dt) = c(0) dt, provided dC(t) is absolute continuous with density c(t). Similarly, we show that V(∞;C′) ≤icx V(∞;C) ≤icx V(∞;C′′). For proofs, we develop the theory of the ≤idcv ordering defined by increasing directionally concave functions. We apply the theory to M/G/1 priority queues and M/G/1 queues with positive and negative customers.
