Abstract

Let X1,X2,X_1, X_2,\ldots be random elements of the Skorokhod space D(R)D(\mathbb{R}) and ξ1,ξ2,\xi_1, \xi_2, \ldots positive random variables such that the pairs (X1,ξ1),(X2,ξ2),(X_1,\xi_1), (X_2,\xi_2),\ldots are independent and identically distributed. We call the random process (Y(t))tR(Y(t))_{t \in \mathbb{R}} defined by Y(t):=k0Xk+1(tξ1ξk)1{ξ1++ξkt}Y(t):=\sum_{k \geq 0}X_{k+1}(t-\xi_1-\ldots-\xi_k)1_{\{\xi_1+\ldots+\xi_k\leq t\}}, tRt\in\mathbb{R} random process with immigration at the epochs of a renewal process. Assuming that XkX_k and ξk\xi_k are independent and that the distribution of ξ1\xi_1 is nonlattice and has finite mean we investigate weak convergence of (Y(t))tR(Y(t))_{t\in\mathbb{R}} as tt\to\infty in D(R)D(\mathbb{R}) endowed with the J1J_1-topology. The limits are stationary processes with immigration.
