On the exchanges between Wolfgang Doeblin and Bohuslav Hostinský

Laurent Mazliak (2007)

Revue d'histoire des mathématiques

Similarity:

We present the letters sent by Wolfgang Doeblin to Bohuslav Hostinský between 1936 and 1938. They concern some aspects of the general theory of Markov chains and the solutions of the Chapman-Kolmogorov equation that Doeblin was then establishing for his PhD thesis.

Conditional Markov chains - construction and properties

Tomasz R. Bielecki, Jacek Jakubowski, Mariusz Niewęgłowski (2015)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

In this paper we study finite state conditional Markov chains (CMCs). We give two examples of CMCs, one which admits intensity, and another one, which does not admit an intensity. We also give a sufficient condition under which a doubly stochastic Markov chain is a CMC. In addition we provide a method for construction of conditional Markov chains via change of measure.

On convergence in distribution of the Markov chain generated by the filter kernel induced by a fully dominated Hidden Markov Model

Thomas Kaijser

Similarity:

Consider a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) such that both the state space and the observation space are complete, separable, metric spaces and for which both the transition probability function (tr.pr.f.) determining the hidden Markov chain of the HMM and the tr.pr.f. determining the observation sequence of the HMM have densities. Such HMMs are called fully dominated. In this paper we consider a subclass of fully dominated HMMs which we call regular. A fully dominated,...

Reduction of absorbing Markov chain

Mariusz Górajski (2009)

Annales UMCS, Mathematica

Similarity:

In this paper we consider an absorbing Markov chain with finite number of states. We focus especially on random walk on transient states. We present a graph reduction method and prove its validity. Using this method we build algorithms which allow us to determine the distribution of time to absorption, in particular we compute its moments and the probability of absorption. The main idea used in the proofs consists in observing a nondecreasing sequence of stopping times. Random walk on...

Technical comment. A problem on Markov chains

Franco Giannessi (2002)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

Similarity:

A problem (arisen from applications to networks) is posed about the principal minors of the matrix of transition probabilities of a Markov chain.
