Open Markov Processes: A Compositional Perspective on Non-Equilibrium Steady States in Biology
@article{Pollard2016OpenMP, title={Open Markov Processes: A Compositional Perspective on Non-Equilibrium Steady States in Biology}, author={Blake S. Pollard}, journal={Entropy}, year={2016}, volume={18}, pages={140} }
In recent work, Baez, Fong and the author introduced a framework for describing Markov processes equipped with a detailed balanced equilibrium as open systems of a certain type. These `open Markov processes' serve as the building blocks for more complicated processes. In this paper, we describe the potential application of this framework in the modeling of biological systems as open systems maintained away from equilibrium. We show that non-equilibrium steady states emerge in open systems of…

We define the concept of an `open' Markov process, a continuous-time Markov chain equipped with specified boundary states through which probability can flow in and out of the system. External…

This work proposes a model for open Markov chains that can be interpreted as a system of non-interacting particles evolving according to the rules of a Markov chain and shows that it is possible to describe the distribution of particles over the state space through the corresponding moment generating function.

This paper focuses on modeling UML’s structural component, as exemplified by the class diagram using CT models, and argues that the use of CT in information modeling could make the authors' models less ambiguous, more precise, and more formal.
A bicategory of decorated cospans
