Abstract
This paper considers a finite-capacity storage model defined on a Markov chain {Xn; n = 0, 1, ·· ·}, having state space J ⊆ {1, 2, ·· ·}. If Xn = j, then there is a random ‘input' Vn(j) (a negative input implying a demand) of ‘type' j, having a distribution function Fj(·). We assume that {Vn(j)} is an i.i.d. sequence of random variables, taken to be independent of {Xn} and of {Vn (k)}, for k ≠ j. Here, the random variables Vn(j) represent instantaneous ‘inputs' of type j for our storage model. Within this framework, we establish certain limit distributions for the joint processes (Zn, Xn) and (Zn, Qn, Ln), where Zn (defined in (1.2)) is the level of storage at time n, Qn (defined in (1.3)) is the cumulative overflow at time n, and Ln (defined in (1.4)) is the cumulative demand lost due to shortage of supply up to time n. In addition, an expression for the time-dependent distribution of (Zn, Xn) is obtained.
