A Two-Sided Exit Problem for a Difference of a Compound Poisson Process and a Compound Renewal Process with a Discrete Phase Space.

A two-sided exit problem is solved for a difference of a compound Poisson process and a compound renewal process. The Laplace transforms of the joint distribution of the first exit time, the value of the overshoot, and the value of a linear component at this instant are determined. The results obtained are applied to solve the two-sided exit problem for a particular case of this process, namely, the difference of the compound Poisson process and the renewal process whose jumps are geometrically distributed. The advantage is that these results are in a closed form, in terms of resolvent sequences of the process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
