In this paper, sufficient conditions are given for the existence of limiting distribution of a nonhomogeneous countable Markov chain with time-dependent transition intensity matrix. The method of proof exploits the fact that if the distribution of random process Q = (Qt )t 0 is absolutely continuous with respect to the distribution of ergodic random process Q◦ = (Q◦t )t 0, then Qt law −→ t→∞ wh...

This paper is about the existence and regularity of the transition probability matrix of a nonhomogeneous continuous-time Markov process with a countable state space. A standard approach to prove the existence of such a transition matrix is to begin with a continuous (in t) and conservative matrix Q(t) = [qij(t)] of nonhomogeneous transition rates qij(t), and use it to construct the transition ...

This study addresses the output-feedback control problem for general semi-Markov jump systems with a memory-dynamic event-triggered protocol. Based on average dwell-time strategy, novel framework of process subject to higher level deterministic switching signal is constructed, where Markov renewal nonhomogeneous. Aiming at improving communication efficiency and performance, dynamic-memory proto...

Network intrusion occurs when a criminal gains access to a customer's telephone, computer, bank, or other type of account. Detecting network intrusion is an important problem that has received little attention in the statistics literature. This article proposes a Markov modulated nonhomogeneous Poisson process (MMNHPP) to monitor transactions on a customer's account for deviations from the cust...

Motivated by problems arising in time-dependent queues and dynamic systems with random environment, this work develops moderate deviations principles for dynamic systems driven by a fast-varying nonhomogeneous Markov chain in continuous time. A distinct feature is that the Markov chain is time dependent or inhomogeneous so are the dynamic systems. Under irreducibility of the nonhomogeneous Mark...

We present two stochastic failure models for the reliability evaluation of manufacturing equipment that degrades due to its complex operating environment. The first model examines the case when the environment is a temporally nonhomogeneous continuous-time Markov chain, and the second assumes the environment is a temporally homogeneous semi-Markov process on a finite space. Derived are transfor...

‎in the present paper we investigate the $l_1$-weak ergodicity of‎ ‎nonhomogeneous continuous-time markov processes with general state‎ ‎spaces‎. ‎we provide a necessary and sufficient condition for such‎ ‎processes to satisfy the $l_1$-weak ergodicity‎. ‎moreover‎, ‎we apply‎ ‎the obtained results to establish $l_1$-weak ergodicity of quadratic‎ ‎stochastic processes‎.
