Abstract
This chapter presents the definition of a renewal process and discusses related concepts. The study of stochastic systems began the theory of renewal phenomena. The evolution of this process started interspersing with renewals or regeneration times and viewed as a the study of general functions of independent, identically distributed, nonnegative random variables representing the successive intervals between renewalsat present. This chapter discusses the examples of renewal processes, block replacement, the Poisson process viewed as a renewal process, the elementary renewal theorem, the renewal theorem for continuous lifetimes and the limiting distribution of age and excess life of the asymptotic behavior of renewal processes. The generalizations and variations on renewal processes that includes delayed renewal processes, stationary renewal processes, cumulative and related processes, stationary renewal processes, cumulative and related processes, and discrete renewal theory and its theorems are also presented in the chapter.
