Representations for the rate of convergence of birth-death processes
نویسنده
چکیده
We display some representations for the rate of convergence of a birth-death process, which are useful for obtaining upper and lower bounds. The expressions are brought to light by exploiting the spectral representation for the transition probabilities of a birth-death process and results from the theory of orthogonal polynomials.

Representations for the Decay Parameter of a Birth-Death Process Based on the Courant-Fischer Theorem
Abstract. We study the decay parameter (the rate of convergence of the transition probabilities) of a birth-death process on {0, 1, . . . }, which we allow to evanesce by escape, via state 0, to an absorbing state -1. Our main results are representations for the decay parameter under four different scenarios, derived from a unified perspective involving Karlin and McGregor’s representation for ...
متن کاملStrong convergence for variational inequalities and equilibrium problems and representations
We introduce an implicit method for nding a common element of the set of solutions of systems of equilibrium problems and the set of common xed points of a sequence of nonexpansive mappings and a representation of nonexpansive mappings. Then we prove the strong convergence of the proposed implicit schemes to the unique solution of a variational inequality, which is the optimality condition for ...
متن کاملComplete convergence of moving-average processes under negative dependence sub-Gaussian assumptions
The complete convergence is investigated for moving-average processes of doubly infinite sequence of negative dependence sub-gaussian random variables with zero means, finite variances and absolutely summable coefficients. As a corollary, the rate of complete convergence is obtained under some suitable conditions on the coefficients.

متن کاملBIRTH AND DEATH INDICATORS IN THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN IN 1984 AND 1986
Birth and death indicators were examined through retrospective surveys conducted in 1985 and 1987 in the Islamic Republic of lran, reviewing 1984 and 1986 events, to obtain infant mortality rate (IMR) and other necessary indicators for health planning and evaluation. Comparison between 1985 and 1987 surveys revealed: 1. No major change in crude death rate ( 6.3 per 1000 in 1987 survey) had...
