Penalization for birth and death processes

چکیده
Abstract: In this paper we study a transient birth and death Markov process penalized by its sojourn time in 0. Under the new probability measure the original process behaves as a recurrent birth and death Markov process. We also show, in a particular case, that an initially recurrent birth and death process, behaves as an transient birth and death process after penalization with the event that it can reach zero in infinite time. We illustrate some of our results with the Bessel random walk example.

BIRTH AND DEATH INDICATORS IN THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN IN 1984 AND 1986
Birth and death indicators were examined through retrospective surveys conducted in 1985 and 1987 in the Islamic Republic of lran, reviewing 1984 and 1986 events, to obtain infant mortality rate (IMR) and other necessary indicators for health planning and evaluation. Comparison between 1985 and 1987 surveys revealed: 1. No major change in crude death rate ( 6.3 per 1000 in 1987 survey) had...
متن کاملMathematical modeling and fuzzy availability analysis for serial processes in the crystallization system of a sugar plant
The binary states, i.e., success or failed state assumptions used in conventional reliability are inappropriate for reliability analysis of complex industrial systems due to lack of sufficient probabilistic information. For large complex systems, the uncertainty of each individual parameter enhances the uncertainty of the system reliability. In this paper, the concept of fuzzy reliability...
متن کاملConditional Processes Induced by Birth and Death Processes
For birth and death processes with finite state space, we consider stochastic processes induced by conditioning on hitting the right boundary point before hitting the left boundary point. We call the induced stochastic processes the conditional processes. We show that the conditional processes are again birth and death processes when the right boundary point is absorbing. On the other hand, it ...
متن کاملThe Z-transform Applied to a Birth-death Process Having Varying Birth and Death Rates
The analysis of a birth-death process using the z-transform was recently reported for processes having fixed transition probabilities between states. The current report extends that analysis to processes having transition probabilities that can differ from state to state. It is then shown that the model can be used to study practical queuing and birth-death systems where the arrival, birth, ser...
متن کاملSpatial birth and death processes as solutions of stochastic equations
Spatial birth and death processes are obtained as solutions of a system of stochastic equations. The processes are required to be locally finite, but may involve an infinite population over the full (noncompact) type space. Conditions are given for existence and uniqueness of such solutions, and for temporal and spatial ergodicity. For birth and death processes with constant death rate, a sub-c...
