3. Let {N(t)}>0 be a renewal process for which the interarrival times {T1,T2,. . .} have cumulative distribution function F. Recall that the renewal function m(t) is given by m(t) E[N(t)j.

(a) Find E[N(t)Ti=x] fort<x andfortx.

(b) Find E[N(t)] E[E[N(t) T1]] to prove that m(t) satisfies the renewal equation m(t) F(t) + f m(t

(c) Show that the renewal function m(t) for a Poisson process with rate A> 0 satisfies the renewal equation.

4. Let {N(t)}>0 be a renewal process for which the interarrival times have cumulative distribution function F and the waiting times are denoted by {W1, W2,. . .}. Define the age of the process {A(t)}>0 by A(t) t the process {R(t)}>0 by R(t) = WNQ)+1

(a) Find P {R(t)  x A(t) = s}.

(b) Find E [R(t) AQ) s].

(c) Find the answers to parts (a) and (b) in the special case when the interarrival times are exponentially distributed with mean 1/A.
