Abstract

Alternating renewal processes have been widely used to model social and scientific phenomenal where independent “on” and “off” states alternate. In this paper, we study a model where the value of a process cumulates and declines according to two modes of compound Poisson processes with respect to an underlying alternating renewal process. The model discussed in the present paper can be used as a revenue management model applied to inventory or to finance. The exact distribution of the process is derived as well as the double Laplace transform with respect to the level and time of the process.
