Building mean field ODE models using the generalized linear chain trick & Markov chain theory

open access: yesJournal of Biological Dynamics, 2021
The well known linear chain trick (LCT) allows modellers to derive mean field ODEs that assume gamma (Erlang) distributed passage times, by transitioning individuals sequentially through a chain of sub-states.

Analysis of k-Out-of-N-Systems with Different Units under Simultaneous Failures: A Matrix-Analytic Approach

open access: yesMathematics, 2022
An N-system with different units submitted to shock and wear is studied. The shocks cause damage and, eventually, simultaneous failures of several units. The units can also fail due to internal failures.

Reliability Evaluation and Optimization of a System with Mixed Run Shock

open access: yesAxioms, 2022
In this paper, we investigate a wear and mixed shock model in which the system can fail due to internal aging or external shocks. The lifetime of the system, due to internal wear, follows continuous phase-type (PH) distributions.

Optimal Hysteresis Control via a Queuing System with Two Heterogeneous Energy-Consuming Servers

open access: yesMathematics, 2023
A queuing system having two different servers is under study. Demands enter the system according to a Markov arrival process. Service times have phase-type distribution.

On the canonical representation of phase type distributions [PDF]

open access: yesPerformance Evaluation, 2009
The characterization and the canonical representation of order-n phase type distributions (PH(n)) is an open research problem. This problem is solved for n=2, since the equivalence of the acyclic and the general PH distributions has been proven for a long time.

On the nature of Phase-type Poisson distributions [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Actuarial Science, 2013
AbstractMatrix-form Poisson probability distributions were recently introduced as one matrix generalization of Panjer distributions. We show in this paper that under the constraint that their representation is to be nonnegative, they have a physical interpretation as extensions of PH distributions, and we name this restricted familyPhase-type Poisson ...

Heavy-tailed phase-type distributions: a unified approach. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
A phase-type distribution is the distribution of the time until absorption in a finite state-space time-homogeneous Markov jump process, with one absorbing state and the rest being transient.

Ruin Probability for Stochastic Flows of Financial Contract under Phase-Type Distribution

open access: yesRisks, 2020
This paper examines the impact of the parameters of the distribution of the time at which a bank’s client defaults on their obligated payments, on the Lundberg adjustment coefficient, the upper and lower bounds of the ruin probability.

The Algebraic Degree of Phase-Type Distributions [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Applied Probability, 2010
This paper is concerned with properties of the algebraic degree of the Laplace-Stieltjes transform of phase-type (PH) distributions. The main problem of interest is: given a PH generator, how do we find the maximum and the minimum algebraic degrees of all irreducible PH representations with that PH generator?
