This paper is devoted to the investigation of limit theorems for extremes with random sample size under general dependence-independence conditions for samples and random sample size indexes. Limit theorems of weak convergence type are obtained as well as functional limit theorems for extremal processes with random sample size indexes.

AbstractBy the use of a semi-martingale property of the Kolmogorov supremum, the results of Pyke (6) on the weak convergence of the empirical process with random sample size are simplified and extended to the case of p(≥1)-dimensional stochastic vectors.

The number Yn of offspring of the most prolific individual in the nth generation of a Bienaymé–Galton–Watson process is studied. The asymptotic behaviour of Yn as n → ∞ may be viewed as an extreme value problem for i.i.d. random variables with random sample size. Limit theorems for both Yn and EYn provided that the offspring mean is finite are obtained using some convergence results for branching processes as well as a transfer limit lemma for maxima. Subcritical, critical and supercritical branching processes are considered separately.

It is assumed that customers at a service facility have appointments at times 0,1,2, … for which they may be unpunctual by random amounts or may never arrive at all. A weak convergence theorem is proved for the process which counts the number of arrivals. This makes it possible to carry over the results of Iglehart and Whitt (1970a) to obtain heavy traffic functional limit theorems for queues with arrivals by appointment.

Abstract We discuss weak convergence of the number of busy servers in a G/G/∞ queue in the J1-topology on the Skorokhod space. We prove two functional limit theorems with random and nonrandom centering, thereby solving two open problems stated in Mikosch and Resnick (2006). A new integral representation for the limit Gaussian process is given.

A model is studied in which each of several servers assembles finished products consisting of N different input items. Items of each type arrive independently at the assembly station and are grouped into N-tuples consisting of one item of each type. N-tuples are assembled into finished products by the servers on a first come-first-served basis. The model is analyzed by means of the theory of weak convergence, and functional limit theorems are obtained for appropriately normalized random functions induced by the queue size processes. The limits are expressed as functionals of multi-dimensional Wiener processes, with ordinary central limit theorems obtained as corollaries.
