Conditional excursion theory
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.
We introduce a new condition which extends the definition of sticky particle dynamics to the case of discontinuous initial velocities with negative jumps. We show the existence of a stochastic process and a forward flow satisfying and , where is the law of and is the velocity of particle at time . Results on the flow characterization and Lipschitz continuity are also given.Moreover, the map is the entropy solution of a scalar conservation law where the flux represents the particles...
