Transformations of Markov Chains

  • A. B. Vistelius
Chapter

Abstract

Models of geological processes involving simple Markov chains. Theory of lumping of states. Which type of random sequence turns out to be a simple Markov chain after it is transformed by a given scheme (models of a secondary process). Various schemes of transformations. Example from petrography and sedimentology. Mathematical problems calling for solutions.

Key words

Strong lumping weak lumping concentration rarefaction substitution packets merger of series expansion of series
