Moments of integral-type downward functionals for single death processes

Abstract

We get an explicit and recursive representation for high order moments of integral-type downward functionals for single death processes. Meanwhile, main results are applied to more general integral-type downward functionals.

Key words： Single death process; integral-type functional; moment
