Journal of Applied Probability, Vol. 41, Stochastic Methods and Their Applications (2004), pp. 347-360 (14 pages) This paper investigates the probabilistic behaviour of the eigenvalue of the empirical ...
We consider the problem of estimating the rate of convergence to stationarity of a continuous-time, finite-state Markov chain. This is done via an estimator of the second-largest eigenvalue of the ...
Quantum Markov chains (QMCs) represent a natural quantum extension of classical Markov processes, encapsulating memoryless dynamics within quantum systems. They offer a powerful framework to model non ...
