Popis: Let Zi (i ≥ 1) be a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables with standard exponential distribution H and let Z(n) (n ≥ 1) be the corresponding sequence of exponential records associated with Zi (i ≥ 1). Let us call the sequence Z(n) (n ≥ 1) the first “record derivative” of the sequence Zi (i ≥ 1). ν1 = Z(1). It is known that ν2 = Z(2) – Z(1), independent variables with distribution H. Let T(n) (n ≥ 1) be record times in the sequence ν1, ν2, … while Y(n) = Z(T(n)) and W(n) = Y(n) – Y(n – 1) (n ≥ 1). Let us call the sequence Y(n) (n ≥ 1) (which is the main objective of this research) the second “record derivative” of the sequence Zi (i ≥ 1). We derive the distributions of T(n), Y(n), W(n) and search for the Laplace transform of Y(n) in this paper. A limit result for the sequence Y(n) (n ≥ 1) is obtained, and methods of generation of T(n) and Y(n) are proposed.
