Abstract

The problem of determining the asymptotic form of the stock vector n (t) in a continuous time Markovian manpower model is solved for asymptotically exponential recruitment functions {R(t)}. A new approach to the limiting behaviour of some manpower systems with given total sizes {N(t)} is then given by means of time-inhomogeneous Markov processes.
