Relaxed Markov processes
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 July 2016
Abstract
The concept of relaxing a Markov process is introduced; this is the creation of additional transitions between ergodic classes of the process in such a way as to conserve the existing equilibrium distribution within ergodic classes. The ‘open' version of a ‘closed' model of migration, polymerisation etc. often has this character. As further examples, generalized versions of Jackson networks and networks with clustering nodes are given.
