A Scattering Theory for Markov Chains
نویسنده
چکیده
In the operator algebraic formulation of probability theory Markov processes typically appear as perturbations of Bernoulli processes. We develop a scattering theory for this situation. This theory applies to the isomorphism problem between Markov processes and Bernoulli shifts as well as to the description of open quantum systems.

The Rate of Rényi Entropy for Irreducible Markov Chains
In this paper, we obtain the Rényi entropy rate for irreducible-aperiodic Markov chains with countable state space, using the theory of countable nonnegative matrices. We also obtain the bound for the rate of Rényi entropy of an irreducible Markov chain. Finally, we show that the bound for the Rényi entropy rate is the Shannon entropy rate.
متن کاملProbabilistic Sufficiency and Algorithmic Sufficiency from the point of view of Information Theory
Given the importance of Markov chains in information theory, the definition of conditional probability for these random processes can also be defined in terms of mutual information. In this paper, the relationship between the concept of sufficiency and Markov chains from the perspective of information theory and the relationship between probabilistic sufficiency and algorithmic sufficien...
متن کاملNon-commutative Markov Chains and Multi-analytic Operators
We study a model of repeated interaction between quantum systems which can be thought of as a non-commutative Markov chain. It is shown that there exists an outgoing Cuntz scattering system associated to this model which induces an input-output formalism with a transfer function corresponding to a multi-analytic operator, in the sense of multivariate operator theory. Finally we show that observ...
متن کاملEmpirical Bayes Estimation in Nonstationary Markov chains
Estimation procedures for nonstationary Markov chains appear to be relatively sparse. This work introduces empirical Bayes estimators for the transition probability matrix of a finite nonstationary Markov chain. The data are assumed to be of a panel study type in which each data set consists of a sequence of observations on N>=2 independent and identically dis...
