We prove that the Markov operator associated to an iterated function system consisting of phi-max-contractions with probabilities has a unique invariant measure whose support is the attractor of the system.
The article is devoted to the estimation of the rate of convergence of integral functionals of a Markov process. Under the assumption that the given Markov process admits a transition probability density which is differentiable in $t$ and…
Mean-field models approximate large stochastic systems by simpler differential equations that are supposed to approximate the mean of the larger system. It is generally assumed that as the stochastic systems get larger (i.e., more people or…
The paper presents efficient approaches for evaluating convergence rate in total variation for finite and general linear Markov chains. The motivation for studying convergence rate in this metric is its usefulness in various limit theorems.…
We provide explicit nonasymptotic estimates for the rate of convergence of empirical means of Markov chains, together with a Gaussian or exponential control on the deviations of empirical means. These estimates hold under a "positive…
Improved rates of convergence for ergodic homogeneous Markov chains are studied. In comparison to the earlier papers the setting is also generalised to the case without a unique dominated measure. Examples are provided where the new bound…
In the present paper, the authors introduce and investigate new sequences of positive linear operators which include some well known operators as special cases. Here we estimate the rate of convergence for functions having derivatives of…
The approximation of functions in Orlicz space by multivariate operators on simplex is considered. The convergence rate is given by using modulus of smoothness.
We give a set of equivalent conditions for a potential on a Countable Markov Shift to have strong positive recurrence, which is also equivalent to having exponential decay of correlations. A key ingredient of our proofs is quantifying how…
We consider positive, integral-preserving linear operators acting on $L^1$ space, known as stochastic operators or Markov operators. We show that, on finite-dimensional spaces, any stochastic operator can be approximated by a sequence of…
Using simultaneously two operator identities, we consider the inversion of the convolution operators on a rectangular. The structure of the inverse operators and of some corresponding forms, which are important in signal processing, is…
The convergence of a new general variable metric algorithm based on compositions of averaged operators is established. Applications to monotone operator splitting are presented.
Let $f$ be the density function associated to a matrix-exponential distribution of parameters $(\alpha, T,s)$. By exponentially tilting $f$, we find a probabilistic interpretation which generalises the one associated to phase-type…
We investigate the concatenation of Markov processes. Our primary concern is to utilize processes constructed in this manner for Monte Carlo integration. To enable this using conventional methods, it is essential to demonstrate the Markov…
Partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) have recently become popular among many AI researchers because they serve as a natural model for planning under uncertainty. Value iteration is a well-known algorithm for finding…
We introduce a new definition of exponential family of Markov chains, and show that many characteristic properties of the usual exponential family of probability distributions are properly extended to Markov chains. The method of…
We consider estimation procedures which are recursive in the sense that each successive estimator is obtained from the previous one by a simple adjustment. We study rate of convergence of recursive estimation procedures for the general…
In this paper we obtain non-uniform exponential upper bounds for the rate of convergence of a version of the algorithm Context, when the underlying tree is not necessarily bounded. The algorithm Context is a well-known tool to estimate the…
A matrix approach to continuous iteration is proposed for general formal series. It leads, in particular, to an order{to{order iteration of the exponential function, and consequently to an algorithmic approach to tetration. Lower{order…
Markov automata combine non-determinism, probabilistic branching, and exponentially distributed delays. This compositional variant of continuous-time Markov decision processes is used in reliability engineering, performance evaluation and…
