Stationary Distributions for Discrete Time Markov Chains
- Mathematics
- 2014
We continue the study of Markov chains initiated in Chap. 5. A stationary distribution is a stochastic equilibrium for the chain. We find conditions under which such a distribution exists. We are…
Lecture 4 a : Continuous-Time Markov Chain Models
- Mathematics
- 2019
Continuous-time Markov chains are stochastic processes whose time is continuous, t ∈ [0,∞), but the random variables are discrete. Prominent examples of continuous-time Markov processes are Poisson…
Introduction to Stochastic Processes
- Mathematics

This paper presents the introductory knowledge of stochastic processes for finance majors in mind. Main topics are sample paths properties of stochastic processes such as continuous paths or…
Discrete-time Markov chains
- Mathematics
- 2017
The first mathematical results for discrete-time Markov chains with a finite state space were generated by Andrey Markov [71] whose motivation was to extend the law of large numbers to sequences of…
Identities for stopped markov chains and their applications
- Mathematics
- 1986
In this paper we obtain identities for some stopped Markov chains. These identities give a unified approach to many problems in optimal stopping of a Markovian sequence, extinction probability of a…
