Kendall [4] has given for the distribution of the time to first emptiness in a store with an input process which is homogeneous and has non-negative independent increments and an output of one unit per unit time the formula . In this formula, z is the initial content of the store, g(t, z) is the density function of the time to first emptiness τ(z), defined by and k(t, x) is the density function of the input process ξ(t), defined by .
