The equivalence forms of random Kolmogorov forward(backward) equations

  • Published:
Wuhan University Journal of Natural Sciences

Abstract

The concepts of Markov process in random environment,q-matrix in random environment andq-process in random environment are introduced. Three forms of random Kolmoogrov farward (or backward) equations are introduced and the equivalence of these three forms are also proved. Moreover any conservativeq-process in random environment satisfies random Kolmogrov backward equation.
