[HTML][HTML] Imprecise continuous-time Markov chains

T Krak, J De Bock, A Siebes - International Journal of Approximate …, 2017 - Elsevier
Continuous-time Markov chains are mathematical models that are used to describe the state-
evolution of dynamical systems under stochastic uncertainty, and have found widespread …

Hitting times and probabilities for imprecise Markov chains

T Krak, N T'Joens, J De Bock - International Symposium on …, 2019 - proceedings.mlr.press
We consider the problem of characterising expected hitting times and hitting probabilities for
imprecise Markov chains. To this end, we consider three distinct ways in which imprecise …

The limit behaviour of imprecise continuous-time Markov chains

J De Bock - Journal of Nonlinear Science, 2017 - Springer
We study the limit behaviour of a nonlinear differential equation whose solution is a
superadditive generalisation of a stochastic matrix, prove convergence, and provide …

Using imprecise continuous time Markov chains for assessing the reliability of power networks with common cause failure and non-immediate repair

M Troffaes, J Gledhill, D Škulj, S Blake, T Augustin… - 2015 - durham-repository.worktribe.com
We explore how imprecise continuous time Markov chains can improve traditional reliability
models based on precise continuous time Markov chains. Specifically, we analyse the …

On nonlinear expectations and Markov chains under model uncertainty

M Nendel - International Journal of Approximate Reasoning, 2021 - Elsevier
The aim of this work is to give an overview on nonlinear expectations and to relate them to
other concepts that describe model uncertainty or imprecision in a probabilistic framework …

Finite element model updating of concrete structures based on imprecise probability

S Biswal, A Ramaswamy - Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing, 2017 - Elsevier
Imprecise probability based methods are developed in this study for the parameter
estimation, in finite element model updating for concrete structures, when the measurements …

Markov chains under nonlinear expectation

M Nendel - Mathematical Finance, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
In this paper, we consider continuous‐time Markov chains with a finite state space under
nonlinear expectations. We define so‐called Q‐operators as an extension of Q‐matrices or …

Extended Laplace principle for empirical measures of a Markov chain

S Eckstein - Advances in Applied Probability, 2019 - cambridge.org
We consider discrete-time Markov chains with Polish state space. The large deviations
principle for empirical measures of a Markov chain can equivalently be stated in Laplace …
