Abstract:
The authors consider a non-decreasing continuous random process with a family of the first hitting times for levels $x>0$, which form Lévy process with positive increments. Asymptotics of the first three moments of their one-dimensional distributions as t goes to infinity are derived for the case when the Lévy density is $e^{-u}/u^\alpha$$(1\leq\alpha<2)$.
Key words and phrases:monotone process, continuous semi-Markov process, Levy process, gamma-process, process of maximi, Wiener process, reliability, wear.
