On the Lengths of Excursions of Some Markov Processes
نویسنده
چکیده
Results are obtained regarding the distribution of the ranked lengths of component intervals in the complement of the random set of times when a recurrent Markov process returns to its starting point. Various martingales are described in terms of the L evy measure of the Poisson point process of interval lengths on the local time scale. The martingales derived from the zero set of a one-dimensional di usion are related to martingales studied by Az ema and Rainer. Formulae are obtained which show how the distribution of interval lengths is a ected when the underlying process is subjected to a Girsanov transformation. In particular, results for the zero set of an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process or a Cox-Ingersoll-Ross process are derived from results for a Brownian motion or recurrent Bessel process, when the zero set is the range of a stable subordinator.

Applications of the continuous - time ballot theorem to Brownian motion and related processes
Motivated by questions related to a fragmentation process which has been studied by Aldous, Pitman, and Bertoin, we use the continuous-time ballot theorem to establish some results regarding the lengths of the excursions of Brownian motion and related processes. We show that the distribution of the lengths of the excursions below the maximum for Brownian motion conditioned to rst hit > 0 at tim...

متن کاملOn the Relative Lengths of Excursions Derived from a Stable Subordinator
Results are obtained concerning the distribution of ranked relative lengths of excursions of a recurrent Markov process from a point in its state space whose inverse local time process is a stable subordinator. It is shown that for a large class of random times T the distribution of relative excursion lengths prior to T is the same as if T were a xed time. It follows that the generalized arc-si...

متن کاملAccelerated decomposition techniques for large discounted Markov decision processes
Many hierarchical techniques to solve large Markov decision processes (MDPs) are based on the partition of the state space into strongly connected components (SCCs) that can be classified into some levels. In each level, smaller problems named restricted MDPs are solved, and then these partial solutions are combined to obtain the global solution. In this paper, we first propose a novel algorith...
