Asymptotic Results for an Inventory Model of Type (s, S) with Asymmetric Triangular Distributed Interference of Chance and Delay

Abstract

In this study, a semi - Markovian inventory model of type (s, S) is considered and the model is expressed by a modification of a renewal - reward process (X(t)) with an asymmetric triangular distributed interference of chance and delay. The ergodicity of the process X(t) is proved under some weak conditions. Additionally, exact expressions and three - term asymptotic expansions are found for all the moments of the ergodic distribution. Finally, obtained asymptotic results are compared with exact results for a special case.
