Abstract

The theory of input flows was developed in the works of A.K. Erlang, A.Ya. Hinchin, C. Palm, B.V. Gnedenko, and other authors. The theory assumed independence of the intervals between successive moments of receiving similar arrivals. In this paper, we propose a nonstandard way of describing and studying the incoming flows of moving nonhomogeneous arrivals. Moreover, we consider the flows of a complex probabilistic structure with the intervals between successive arrivals to be dependent random variables and have different distributions. Methods and results of studies of the properties of flows are substantially based on laws of flows of nonhomogeneous claims, both in space and in time. In general, this allows one to determine the nonlocal description of the spatial and time characteristic of flow even if they are statistically dependent. For the first time a method of approximation of the flow of complex probabilistic structure with nonordinary Poisson flow of a certain class is proposed.
