Quantum Markov chains associated with open quantum random walks [PDF]
, 2018 In this paper we construct (nonhomogeneous) quantum Markov chains associated with open quantum random walks. The quantum Markov chain, like the classical Markov chain, is a fundamental tool for the investigation of the basic properties such as ...

Bisimulation of Labelled State-to-Function Transition Systems Coalgebraically [PDF]
Logical Methods in Computer Science, 2015 Labeled state-to-function transition systems, FuTS for short, are characterized by transitions which relate states to functions of states over general semirings, equipped with a rich set of higher-order operators.

Invariant measures for the box-ball system based on stationary Markov chains and periodic Gibbs measures [PDF]
Journal of Mathematics and Physics, 2019 The box-ball system (BBS) is a simple model of soliton interaction introduced by Takahashi and Satsuma in the 1990s. Recent work of the authors, together with Tsuyoshi Kato and Satoshi Tsujimoto, derived various families of invariant measures for the BBS

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.

Analytic-geometric methods for finite Markov chains with applications to quasi-stationarity [PDF]
Latin American Journal of Probability and Mathematical Statistics, 2019 For a relatively large class of well-behaved absorbing (or killed) finite Markov chains, we give detailed quantitative estimates regarding the behavior of the chain before it is absorbed (or killed).

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.

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.

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 ...

Zero-sum stopping games with asymmetric information [PDF]
, 2017 We study a model of two-player, zero-sum, stopping games with asymmetric information. We assume that the payoff depends on two continuous-time Markov chains (X, Y), where X is only observed by player 1 and Y only by player 2, implying that the players ...

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 ...
