Excerpt

Unfortunately, we have discovered several errors in [2]:
(i)
Lemma 5 in Sect. 4 is incorrect. A counterexample is given in Sect. 2 below.
 
(ii)
Theorem 5 in Sect. 5 is incorrect. It would be correct if we could replace \(t \ge -M_a\) by \(t \ge 0\) in the condition (39) in Theorem 4, but we are not free to do so, because the condition \(t \ge -M_a\) is required by the increasing convex stochastic order used in Theorem 4.
 
(iii)
The presentation of Lemma 3 is incorrect, but this is fixable, as explained in Sect. 3.
 
(iv)
Proposition 1 is incorrect, but this is fixable. This proposition becomes correct if the condition \(g(0) = 0\) is added, as holds in the intended Erlang example (\(E_k\) for \(k \ge 2\)). The correction is needed because (57) in [2] is missing the term g(0)h(t).
 
These errors have serious implications. The error in Lemma 5 invalidates the proofs of Theorems 1 and 3. The error in Theorem 5 invalidates the proof of Theorem 2. Thus, Theorems 1–3 become conjectures remaining to be proved or disproved. …
