Abstract

If the inter-arrival time distribution of a renewal process is regularly varying with index (i.e. the inter-arrival times have infinite mean) and if is the associated age process at time . Then we show that if is the length of the current cycle at time ,
where is . This extends a classical result in renewal theory in the finite mean case which indicates that the limit is .
