We model the development of the linear complexity of multisequences by a stochastic infinite state machine, the Battery-Discharge-Model, BDM. The states s in S of the BDM have asymptotic probabilities or mass Pr(s)=1/(P(q,M) q^K(s)), where…

Stochastic gene regulatory networks with bursting dynamics can be modeled mesocopically as a generalized density-dependent Markov chain (GDDMC) or macroscopically as a piecewise-deterministic Markov process (PDMP). Here we prove a limit…
