Abstract

The paper discusses the general problem of emptiness in the finite dam and considers the probability that, starting with an arbitrary storage, the dam dries up before it fills completely. Some exact results are given both for discrete and continuous inputs. An interesting relation between this probability and the asymptotic distribution function of the dam content has also been obtained.
