Intuitive approximations for the renewal function

Abstract:

It is hard to find explicit expressions for the renewal function U(x)=∑n=0∞F*n(x). Many researchers have made attempts to find suitable approximations for U (x) In this paper we present simple approximations and show that they cover many of the known results. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.
