Stochastic Resonance in Two-State Markov Chains
نویسنده
چکیده
The notion of Stochastic Resonance appeared about twenty years ago in the works of Benzi et al. [1] and Nicolis [2] in the context of an attempt to explain the phenomenon of ice ages. The modern methods of acquiring and interpreting climate records indicate at least seven major climate changes in the last 700,000 years. These changes occurred with the periodicity of about 100, 000 years and are characterized by a substantial variation of the average Earth’s temperature of about 10K. The effect can be explained with the help of a simple energy balance model (for an extended review on the subject see [3]). The Earth is considered as a point in space, and its temporally and spatially averaged temperature X(t)

Stochastic Dynamic Programming with Markov Chains for Optimal Sustainable Control of the Forest Sector with Continuous Cover Forestry
We present a stochastic dynamic programming approach with Markov chains for optimal control of the forest sector. The forest is managed via continuous cover forestry and the complete system is sustainable. Forest industry production, logistic solutions and harvest levels are optimized based on the sequentially revealed states of the markets. Adaptive full system optimization is necessary for co...
متن کاملRelative Entropy Rate between a Markov Chain and Its Corresponding Hidden Markov Chain
In this paper we study the relative entropy rate between a homogeneous Markov chain and a hidden Markov chain defined by observing the output of a discrete stochastic channel whose input is the finite state space homogeneous stationary Markov chain. For this purpose, we obtain the relative entropy between two finite subsequences of above mentioned chains with the help of the definition of...
متن کاملStatistics of transitions for Markov chains with periodic forcing
The influence of a time-periodic forcing on stochastic processes can essentially be emphasized in the large time behaviour of their paths. The statistics of transition in a simple Markov chain model permits to quantify this influence. In particular a functional Central Limit Theorem can be proven for the number of transitions between two states chosen in the whole finite state space of the Mark...
متن کاملArrival probability in the stochastic networks with an established discrete time Markov chain
The probable lack of some arcs and nodes in the stochastic networks is considered in this paper, and its effect is shown as the arrival probability from a given source node to a given sink node. A discrete time Markov chain with an absorbing state is established in a directed acyclic network. Then, the probability of transition from the initial state to the absorbing state is computed. It is as...
