Backward Solution of Markov Chains and Markov Regenerative Processes: Formalization and Applications
... Literature overview. We could find very little work on backward solutions, apart from the classical backward and forward Kolmogorov equations for irreducible Markov chain. There is a clear relationship with the ...

Convergence of some time inhomogeneous Markov chains via spectral techniques
... Abstract We consider the problem of giving explicit spectral bounds for time inhomogeneous Markov chains on a finite state space. We give bounds that apply when there exists a probability π such that each ...
