Abstract

In this chapter, the weak convergence of additive functionals of processes with locally independent increments and with semi-Markov switching in the scheme of Poisson approximation is investigated. Singular perturbation problem for the compensating operator of the extended Markov renewal process is used to prove the relative compactness. This approach can be used in applications and especially in shock and degradation in random environment arising in reliability.
