Abstract:
We consider the classical continuous time nonhomogeneous renewal equation on the half-line, that is, the integral Volterra equation with a nonnegative bounded kernel. It is assumed that the kernel can be approximated by a convolution kernel generated by a strong substochastic distribution in the large time scale. We study the scheme of series (transition phenomena) where the corresponding defect tends to zero and the time scale tends to infinity. We find the limit of a solution of the renewal equation under certain assumptions. This result is based on a minimal renewal theorem in the scheme of series.
Some applications are also considered.
