Abstract

We obtain new bounds for the renewal function, as well as for the expected number of renewals over an interval $$(t,t+h]$$ ( t , t + h ] . Improved bounds are given when the interarrival distribution belongs to certain aging classes. Our results are compared with existing ones in the literature, both theoretically and with the aid of numerical resuts.
