Abstract

This paper presents a general theory of storage for dams subject to a steady release, and with continuous inputs having infinitely divisible distributions. The paper extends some earlier work by Downton, Lindley, Smith and Kendall ((10), see discussion), and gives a detailed account of results previously sketched by the authors (6).
