INTEGRO-DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS AND SEMI-MARKOV PROCESSES
Abstract:
A stochastic process X is semi-Markov in the sense of Gihman and Skorohod if the couple (X(t),J(t)), where J(t) is the sojourn time in the current position, is a strict Markov process. The waiting times between the changes of state of the process are in general non exponential r.v.'s. We study the governing equations (Kolmogorov type equations) for semi-Markov processes. These equations are integro-differential equations that become fractional in some particular and interesting cases. For example this is true when the distribution of the waiting times have Mittag-Leffler distribution. Furthermore we present various sufficient conditions to say that a semi-Markov process is a time-changed Markov process. This last case has interesting consequences on the structure of the governing equation.
Tutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare.
