Brief review of conditional probability and expectation followed by a study of Markov chains, both discrete and continuous time. Queuing theory, terminology, and single queue systems are studied with ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract If a finite Markov chain (discrete time, discrete states) has a number of absorbing states, one of these will eventually be reached. In this ...

We supply some relations that establish intertwining from duality and give a probabilistic interpretation. This is carried out in the context of discrete Markov chains, fixing up the background of ...
