A duality relation for entrance and exit laws for Markov processes

Duality for Labelled Markov Processes

Labelled Markov processes (LMPs) are automata whose transitions are given by probability distributions. In this paper we present a ‘universal’ LMP as the spectrum of a commutative C∗-algebra consisting of formal linear combinations of labelled trees. We characterize the state space of the universal LMP as the set of homomorphims from an ordered commutative monoid of labelled trees into the mult...

A Metrized Duality Theorem for Markov Processes

We extend our previous duality theorem for Markov processes by equipping the processes with a pseudometric and the algebras with a notion of metric diameter. We are able to show that the isomorphisms of our previous duality theorem become isometries in this quantitative setting. This opens the way to developing theories of approximate reasoning for probabilistic systems.

passivity in waiting for godot and endgame: a psychoanalytic reading

this study intends to investigate samuel beckett’s waiting for godot and endgame under the lacanian psychoanalysis. it begins by explaining the most important concepts of lacanian psychoanalysis. the beckettian characters are studied regarding their state of unconscious, and not the state of consciousness as is common in most beckett studies. according to lacan, language plays the sole role in ...

A Preorder Relation for Markov Reward Processes

A new preorder relation is introduced that orders states of a Markov process with an additional reward structure according to the reward gained over any interval of finite or infinite length. The relation allows the comparison of different Markov processes and includes as special cases monotone and lumpable Markov processes.
