Abstract
In investigating the response of systems to random input events, “dead times” in registering these events are met with, as in the case of neuronal behaviour. These situations are studied in terms of product densities making use of the renewal nature of the problem. Different types of cumulative responses of systems are investigated. Some interesting features of a system, which breaks down at a critical value of the cumulative response are analysed.
