Abstract
Most work in the theory of dams has dealt with deterministic withdrawals. Some more recent work, begun by Moran (1969), has been devoted to conditionally deterministic withdrawals which depend on the content of the dam, or in some cases on the last input. We consider in this paper an infinite dam fed by discrete additive inputs, under a totally random withdrawal policy. Explicit expressions are obtained for the time-dependent content distributions. Probabilities of emptiness are computed and stationary results are derived.Keywords
