Risk theory in a Markovian environment

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider risk processes t t⩾0 with the property that the rate β of the Poisson arrival process and the distribution of B of the claim sizes are not fixed in time but depend on the state of an underlying Markov jump process such that β=β i and B=Bi when Zt=i.

Asymptotics for steady-state tail probabilities in structured markov queueing models

TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply Tauberian theorems with known transforms to establish asymptotics for the basic steady-state distributions in the BMAP/G/l queue.

The deviation matrix of a continuous-time markov chain

TL;DR: The deviation matrix of an ergodic, continuous-time Markov chain with transition probability matrix P(·) and transition probability matrices P(t) and P(d) is the matrix D ≡ ∫ 0∞(P(t − P) dt as discussed by the authors.

The role of Kemeny's constant in properties of Markov chains

TL;DR: In a finite irreducible Markov chain with stationary probabilities {π i } and mean first passage times m ij (mean recurrence time when i = ǫ) it was first shown, by Kemeny and Snell (1960), that is a constant, K, (Kemeny's constant) not depending on i.

Mixing times with applications to perturbed Markov chains

TL;DR: In this paper, the mixing time of a Markov chain was studied and a measure of mixing time in a finite irreducible discrete-time Markov Chain was proposed, where mixing time is defined as the first passage time from state i to state j of the chain.

Generalized inverses: theory and applications

TL;DR: In this paper, the Moore of the Moore-Penrose Inverse is described as a generalized inverse of a linear operator between Hilbert spaces, and a spectral theory for rectangular matrices is proposed.
