Asymptotic independence of regenerative processes with a special dependence structure

摘要

We identify some conditions under which regenerative processes with a certain dependence structure among them are asymptotically independent. The result is applied to various models, in particular independent Levy processes with dependent secondary jumps at the origin (for example, workloads of parallel M/G/1 queues with server vacations), the asymptotic performance of systems with multiple correlated sources that generate real-time status updates measured by the limiting probability of an updated system, and asymptotic results for clearing processes with dependent arrivals of clearings. Finally, the asymptotic distribution of the classic Jackson network is discussed as yet another example.
