Lattice birth-and-death processes

چکیده
Lattice birth-and-death Markov dynamics of particle systems with spins from Z+ are constructed as unique solutions to certain stochastic equations. Pathwise uniqueness, strong existence, Markov property and joint uniqueness in law are proven, and a martingale characterization of the process is given. Sufficient conditions for the existence of an invariant distribution are formulated in terms of Lyapunov functions. We apply obtained results to discrete analogs of the Bolker–Pacala–Dieckmann–Law model and an aggregation model.

Commuting Birth-and-death Processes
We use methods from combinatorics and algebraic statistics to study analogues of birth-and-death processes that have as their state space a finite subset of the m-dimensional lattice and for which the m matrices that record the transition probabilities in each of the lattice directions commute pairwise. One reason such processes are of interest is that the transition matrix is straightforward t...
متن کاملThe Formal Theory of Birth - and - Death Processes , Lattice Path Combinatorics , and Continued Fractions
Classic works of Karlin-McGregor and Jones-Magnus have established a general correspondence between continuous-time birth-and-death processes and continued fractions of the Stieltjes-Jacobi type together with their associated orthogonal polynomials. This fundamental correspondence is revisited here in the light of the basic relation between weighted lattice paths and continued fractions otherwi...
متن کاملQuasi-birth-and-death Processes, Lattice Path Counting, and Hypergeometric Functions
In this paper we consider a class of quasi-birth-and-death processes for which explicit solutions can be obtained for the rate matrix R and the associated matrix G. The probabilistic interpretations of these matrices allow us to describe their elements in terms of paths on the two-dimensional lattice. Then determining explicit expressions for the matrices becomes equivalent to solving a lattice...
متن کاملPath integral approach to birth-death processes on a lattice
2014 The Fock space formalism for classical objects first introduced by Doi is cast in a path integral form and applied to general birth-death processes on a lattice. The introduction of suitable auxiliary variables allows one to formulate random walks with memory and irreversible aggregation processes in a Markovian way, which is treatable in this formalism. Existing field theories of such pro...
متن کاملChaos and Optimal Control of Stochastic Lattice of Prey-predator with Unknown Probabilities
Abstract In this paper, we will discuss the problem of chaos and control of a stochastic lattice gas model for prey-predator. Such system follows a stochastic dynamics composed of three Markovain sub-processes which are the birth of prey; the death of prey and simultaneous birth of predator, and spontaneous death of predator. The stability analysis and chaos of the stationary states of one-site...
