Abstract:We study inhomogeneous continuous-time weakly ergodic Markov chains on a finite state space. We introduce a notion of Markov chain with the regular structure of an infinitesimal matrix and study the sharp upper bounds on the rate of convergence for this class.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
