Abstract

Consider n independent vector valued point processes. Superposition is defined component by component as a natural extension of the definition for the one-dimensional case. Under proper conditions as n → ∞, it is shown that the superposed process is a many-dimensional Poisson process with independent components. The results are applied to the superposition of Markov renewal processes.
