On the Behavior of a Long Cascade of Linear ReservoirsJ. E. Glynn and P. W. Glynn Journal of Applied Probability, Vol. 37, 417-428 (2000) This paper describes the limiting asymptotic behaviour of a long cascade of linear reservoirs fed by stationary inflows into the first reservoir. We show that the storage in the nth reservoir becomes asymptotically deterministic as n→∞, and establish a central limit theorem for the random fluctuations about the deterministic approximation. In addition, we prove a large deviations theorem that provides precise logarithmic asymptotics for the tail probabilities associated with the storage in the nth reservoir when n is large. |
