A Markov modulated growth collapse model
We consider a growth collapse model in a random environment where the input rates may depend on the state of an underlying irreducible Markov chain and at state change epochs there is a possible downward jump to a level which is a random fraction of the level just before the jump. The distributions of these jumps are allowed to depend on both the originating and target states. Under a very weak...
متن کاملThe shade avoidance syndrome: a non-Markovian stochastic growth model.
Plants at high population density compete for light, showing a series of physiological responses known as the shade avoidance syndrome. These responses are controlled by the synthesis of the hormone auxin, which is regulated by two signals, an environmental one and an internal one. Considering that the auxin signal induces plant growth after a time lag, this work shows that plant growth can be ...
متن کاملHitting times and the Running Maximum of Markovian Growth-collapse Processes
We consider the level hitting times τy = inf{t ≥ 0 | Xt = y} and the running maximum process Mt = sup{Xs | 0 ≤ s ≤ t} of a growth-collapse process (Xt )t≥0, defined as a [0,∞)-valued Markov process that grows linearly between random ‘collapse’ times at which downward jumps with state-dependent distributions occur. We show how the moments and the Laplace transform of τy can be determined in term...
متن کاملA metapopulation model with Markovian landscape dynamics.
We study a variant of Hanski's incidence function model that allows habitat patch characteristics to vary over time following a Markov process. The widely studied case where patches are classified as either suitable or unsuitable is included as a special case. For large metapopulations, we determine a recursion for the probability that a given habitat patch is occupied. This recursion enables u...
متن کاملA Markovian Model for Dynamic Constraint Processing
Dynamic constraint satisfaction is a useful tool for representing and solving sequential decision problems with complete knowledge in dynamic world. We propose an extension of the dynamic constraint satisfaction framework so as to represent stochastic events in sequential decision making. The basis of this extension consists in modeling evolution of the dynamic constraint satisfaction problem b...
