Abstract

The points of a non-stationary Poisson process with periodic intensity are independently shifted forward in time in such a way that the transformed process is stationary Poisson. The mean shift is shown to be minimal. The approach used is to consider an Mt/Gt/∞ queueing system where the arrival process is a non-stationary Poisson with periodic intensity function. A minimal service time distribution is constructed that yields a stationary Poisson departure process.
