On Function of Evolution of Distribution for Time Homogeneous Markov Processes

Probability 2022-07-04 v2

Abstract

A study of time homogeneous, real valued Markov processes with a special property and a non-atomic initial distribution is provided. The new notion of a function of evolution of distribution which determines the dependency between one dimensional distributions of a process is introduced. This, along with the notion of bridge operators which determine the backward structure, as opposed to the forward structure determined by the usual semi-group operators, paves a way to the new approach for dealing with finite-dimensional distributions of Markov processes. This, in particular, produces explicit formulas which effectively simplify the computations of finite-dimensional distributions, giving an alternative to the standard approach based on computations using the chain rule of transition densities. Various examples illustrating the new approach are presented.
