Abstract


After drawing attention to the contrast between the assumptions made in simple resevoir theory and the requirements of a realistic model the paper concentrates on a compromise model involving (as a simplification) semi-infinite capacity and (as a step towards realism) Markovian inflows, and considers for this model a number of applications of the Odoom-Lloyd matrix generating function for the asymptotic storage distribution.
