where u(t) is a suitable normalization. If V(x) is the characteristic function of a set, ftaV(x(r))dT is the occupation time of the set. The principal result is that under suitable (but quite general) conditions the limiting distribution must be the Mittag-Leffler distribution (of an appropriate index). The method of proof is equally applicable to Markoff chains and, in particular, to sums of independent, identically distributed random variables. We thus obtain a considerable generalization and…

In this paper we consider the scaled limit of a continuous-time random walk (CTRW) based on a Markov chain {X n , n ≥ 0} and two observables, τ(∙) and V(∙), corresponding to the renewal times and
1. Introduction. In this paper we shall investigate various phenomena associated with a Markov process in discrete time, extending results found in [3], [6], [7], and [13]. The paper is divided into

The correlator method is extended to calculate the occupation-time and crossing-number distributions, as well as their partial-survival distributions and the means and variances of the occupation time and number of crossings.

In this paper we consider an additive functional of an observable $V(x)$ of a Markov jump process. We assume that the law of the expected jump time $t(x)$ under the invariant probability measure
The sojourn times for the Brownian motion process in 1 dimension have often been investigated by considering the distribution of the length of time spent in a fixed set during a fixed time interval.

The problems treated in this paper belong to pure analysis, but they have an intuitive background which can be roughly described as follows. We are concerned with sequences of repeated trials which
