Journal of Applied Probability, Vol. 27, No. 3 (Sep., 1990), pp. 557-576 (20 pages) In this paper we consider two-dimensional Markov chains with the property that, except for some boundary conditions, ...
Statistical physics of spin systems provides a versatile framework for understanding phase transitions and critical phenomena by modelling collections of interacting discrete variables, or “spins”, ...
The present paper employs the Multivariate Homogeneous Markov System (MHMS) in the context of Markov manpower planning modelling. The system is regulated by an embedded multivariate Markov process ...
