SOME PROPERTIES OF THE EMPTINESS TIME OF A DAM
Abstract: We investigate the emptiness time of a dam initiated by content
assuming that the total input process is a compound Poisson one and that the
release rate function is given. We prove that if the release function is increasing
(decreasing), then the expected value is concave (convex). We also give an
estimation of the expected value of the emptiness time under some deformations of
inputs.
