Abstract

The duality results well known for classical random walk and generalized by Janssen (1976) for (J-X) processes (or sequences of random variables defined on a finite Markov chain) are extended to a class of multivariate semi-Markov processes. Just as in the classical case, these duality results lead to connections between some models of risk theory and queueing theory.
