Simulated annealing for tensor network states

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2014
Markov chains for probability distributions related to matrix product states and one-dimensional Hamiltonians are introduced. With appropriate ‘inverse temperature’ schedules, these chains can be combined into a simulated annealing scheme for ground ...

On a New Characterization of Harris Recurrence for Markov Chains and Processes

open access: yesMathematics, 2023
This paper shows that Harris recurrent Markov chains and processes can be characterized as the class of Markov chains and processes for which there exists a random time T at which the distribution of the chain or process does not depend on its initial ...

Transformers of markov chains

open access: yesInformation and Control, 1976
We investigate the possibility of synthesizing stable probability distribution generators on the basis of a complete system of deterministic elements and generators of random signals described by nonhomogeneous Markov chains. It is shown that such generators can be obtained by constructing some finite Moore automata with special transition functions ...

Distributed Markov Chains

open access: yesCoRR, 2014
The formal verification of large probabilistic models is important and challenging. Exploiting the concurrency that is often present is one way to address this problem. Here we study a restricted class of asynchronous distributed probabilistic systems in which the synchronizations determine the probability distribution for the next moves of the ...

Segregating Markov Chains [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Theoretical Probability, 2017
Dealing with finite Markov chains in discrete time, the focus often lies on convergence behavior and one tries to make different copies of the chain meet as fast as possible and then stick together. There is, however, a very peculiar kind of discrete finite Markov chain, for which two copies started in different states can be coupled to meet almost ...

Recursive Markov Decision Processes and Recursive Stochastic Games [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We introduce Recursive Markov Decision Processes (RMDPs) and Recursive Simple Stochastic Games (RSSGs), and study the decidability and complexity of algorithms for their analysis and verification.

Forecasting land use and land cover change as a tool for optimising adaptation to climate change: Examples of selected Second-Tier Cities of the V4 Group

open access: yesBulletin of Geography. Socio-Economic Series
Second-tier cities are an important element in the socio-economic development of each country, including V4 countries. The result is a dynamic change in land use/cover patterns.

Subgeometric Ergodicity under Random-Time State-Dependent Drift Conditions

open access: yesJournal of Probability and Statistics, 2014
Motivated by possible applications of Lyapunov techniques in the stability of stochastic networks, subgeometric ergodicity of Markov chains is investigated.
