Some Properties of Quasi Stationary Distributions in the Birth and Death Chains: a Dynamical Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the existence of non-trivial quasi-stationary distributions for birth and death chains by using a dynamical approach. We also furnish an elementary proof of the solidarity property.

Quasi-stationary distributions
This paper contains a survey of results related to quasi-stationary distributions, which arise in the setting of stochastic dynamical systems that eventually evanesce, and which may be useful in describing the long-term behaviour of such systems before evanescence. We are concerned mainly with continuous-time Markov chains over a finite or countably infinite state space, since these processes m...

متن کاملQuasi-Stationary Distributions For A Class Of Discrete-Time Markov Chains
This paper is concerned with the circumstances under which a discrete-time absorbing Markov chain has a quasi-stationary distribution. We showed in a previous paper that a pure birth-death process with an absorbing bottom state has a quasi-stationary distribution – actually an infinite family of quasi-stationary distributions – if and only if absorption is certain and the chain is geometrically...
متن کاملBirth-death Processes with Killing: Orthogonal Polynomials and Quasi-stationary Distributions
The Karlin-McGregor representation for the transition probabilities of a birth-death process with an absorbing bottom state involves a sequence of orthogonal polynomials and the corresponding measure. This representation can be generalized to a setting in which a transition to the absorbing state (killing) is possible from any state rather than just one state. The purpose of this paper is to in...
