Structured Modeling and Analysis of Stochastic Epidemics with Immigration and Demographic Effects. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Stochastic epidemics with open populations of variable population sizes are considered where due to immigration and demographic effects the epidemic does not eventually die out forever.

Dependability Analysis of Bitcoin subject to Eclipse Attacks [PDF]
International Journal of Mathematical, Engineering and Management Sciences, 2021 The immense potential of the blockchain technology in diverse and critical applications (e.g., financial services, cryptocurrencies, supply chains, smart contracts, and automotive industry) has led to a new challenge: the dependability modeling and ...

Maximum Entropy Estimation of Transition Probabilities of Reversible Markov Chains
Entropy, 2009 In this paper, we develop a general theory for the estimation of the transition probabilities of reversible Markov chains using the maximum entropy principle. A broad range of physical models can be studied within this approach.

Methodology for the Assessment of Imprecise Multi-State System Availability
Mathematics, 2022 Most existing studies of a system’s availability in the presence of epistemic uncertainties assume that the system is binary. In this paper, a new methodology for the estimation of the availability of multi-state systems is developed, taking into ...

Stochastic metrology and the empirical distribution
Physical Review Research, 2023 We study the problem of parameter estimation in time series stemming from general stochastic processes, where the outcomes may exhibit arbitrary temporal correlations.

Understanding Our Markov Chain Significance Test: A Reply to Cho and Rubinstein-Salzedo
Statistics and Public Policy, 2019 The article of Cho and Rubinstein-Salzedo seeks to cast doubt on our previous paper, which described a rigorous statistical test which can be applied to reversible Markov chains.

IET Control Theory & Applications, 2021 In this article, the dissipative asynchronous control is investigated for a series of continuous‐time singular Markov jump linear parameter‐varying (SMJLPV) systems under a dynamic event‐triggered scheme, in which the system parameters depend on the ...

Healthy longevity from incidence-based models: More kinds of health than stars in the sky
Demographic Research, 2021 Background: Healthy longevity (HL) is an important measure of the prospects for quality of life in ageing societies. Incidence-based (cf. prevalence-based) models describe transitions among age classes and health stages.

A Stochastic Maximum Principle for Markov Chains of Mean-Field Type
Games, 2018 We derive sufficient and necessary optimality conditions in terms of a stochastic maximum principle (SMP) for controls associated with cost functionals of mean-field type, under dynamics driven by a class of Markov chains of mean-field type which are ...

On the Construction of Some Deterministic and Stochastic Non-Local SIR Models
Mathematics, 2020 Fractional-order epidemic models have become widely studied in the literature. Here, we consider the generalization of a simple SIR model in the context of generalized fractional calculus and we study the main features of such model.
