Consider a
Markov process [x.sub.t+1] = [x.sub.t]P.
where [[chi].sub.t] is an n-dimensional stochastic process, [MATHEMATICAL EXPRESSION NOT REPRODUCIBLE IN ASCII] is an n x n matrix, [MATHEMATICAL EXPRESSION NOT REPRODUCIBLE IN ASCII] is an n x m matrix, and [[Xi].sub.t] is a stable m-dimensional process independent of the
Markov process [s.sub.t].

Markov process in modelling multi-state disease progression.
The main property needed is concentration of measure for Lipschitz functions of the state vector, the polynomial form of the generator of the
Markov process, and, in the case of Theorem 1.1, also the exchangeability of the stationary distribution.
For the reader who is familiar with
Markov processes (Isaacson and Madsen, 1976), notice that entries of each column of a link matrix M are all non-negative and sum to 1.
(4.) Kim (1993a) assumes that real gross national product (GNP) consists of the sum of two independent unobserved components: one following a random walk with drift, which evolves according to a two-state
Markov process, and the other following an autoregressive process.
For the continuous-time
Markov process, the probability of a transition from state B to state A at time t is given by [P.sub.BA](t) = [[Alpha]/([Alpha] + [Beta])] - [[Alpha]/([Alpha] + [Beta])][e.sup.-([Alpha] + [Beta])t], whereas the probability of a transition from state A to state B is given by [P.sub.AA](t) = [[Alpha]/([Alpha] + [Beta])] + [[Beta]/([Alpha] + [Beta])][e.sup.-([Alpha] + [Beta])t] (Tavare 1986).
= the average probability of staying in a category for one period under the assumption of a
Markov process; with w.sub.ii.(t) = the number of employers in category i in period t who are also in category i in period t + 1; and w.sub.i.(t) = the number of employers in category i in period t.
They adopt a two-state
Markov process and the derived coupled Bellman equations and suggest some numerical examples in this framework.
[20] show that if the queue state can be modeled as a
Markov process, the queue length is enough to be observed as an optimal control action and this can be further detailed in [21-22].
assumed interest rates follows a
Markov process and derived a different pricing option formula [11].
As a special case of complex networks, the random structure switching behavior of supply networks can be modeled by a
Markov process. In [14], the supply chain with stochastic system parameters was modeled as a Markov jump linear system, and the bullwhip effect was analyzed for the supply chain.

For study an availability of complex systems is more suitable mathematical model
Markov process. The basic concepts of the
Markov process are those of "state" of the system (e.g., operating, nonoperating) and state "transition" (from operating to nonoperating due to failure, or from nonoperating to operating due to repair) (MIL-HDBK-338B, 1998).
