A limit theorem for semi-Markov processes
Domokos Szász · Journal of Applied Probability · 1974
A limit theorem is proved for semi-Markov processes, which depend on a small parameter, tending to 0, in the case when the processes have an absorbing state and some asymptotically non-essential states and one asymptotically essential state. The application of the theorem is illustrated by an example from reliability theory.
