Abstract
De Dominicis 1979 suggested a generalization of the notion of semi-Markov process by introducing a suitable definition of the transition kernel of the process and proved a theorm on the existence and uniqueness of the solution of integral equation describing the process evolution. In this paper a quite general algorithm useful for the resolution of the evolution equation is performed; in addition an application to an actuarial problem is presented.

Numerical Treatment of Homogeneous Semi-Markov Processes in Transient Case–a Straightforward Approach

TL;DR: Results that justify this approach proving that the numerical solution tends to the evolution equation of the continuous time HSMP are given and results obtained generalize classical results on integral equation numerical solutions applying them to particular kinds of integral equation systems.

Numerical Treatment of Homogeneous and Non-homogeneous Semi-Markov Reliability Models

TL;DR: In this article, the reliability results using homogeneous semi-Markov processes were extended to the case of homogeneous modeling semi-markov processes, and they applied some of their preceding results to give numerical solutions.
