Tóm tắt

In this note two characteristic theorems of Poisson processes are given. If {N(t);t≧0} is a renewal process,U t ,V t are, respectively, the time since the last renewal and the time to the next renewal att, Z t =U t +V t , then a Poisson process can be characterized by the limiting independene of the joint distribution of (U t ,V t ) whent→∞, orEZ t , or the distribution ofZ t .
