In this paper we derive spectral gap estimates for several piecewise deterministic markov processes, namely the randomized hamiltonian monte carlo, the zigzag process and the bouncy particle sampler. We provide tractable conditions ensuring a form of exponential ergodicity and the strong law of large numbers for the chain given by the postjump locations.

The distribution of multiple shot noise process and its. Deterministic markovian policies for fh mdps, we can consider only deterministic markovian solutions will shortly see why a policy is deterministic if for every history, it assigns all probability mass to one action. Formally, a time inhomogeneous markov chain can be seen as a piecewisedeterministic markov process and its precise definition follows from the general construction in 6, 7. Piecewise deterministic markov processes in biological models. Daviss goal was to endow the pdmp with rather general. This chapter contains the basic theory for piecewise deterministic markov processes, whether homogeneous or not, based exclusively on the theory of marked point processes from the previous chapters and presented through the device of viewing a pdmp as a process adapted to the filtration generated by an rcm. The analytic expressions of the laplace transforms of these two processes are. Ergodic properties of some piecewisedeterministic markov. Stability conditions for a piecewise deterministic markov.
The piecewise deterministic markov processes denoted pdmps were. The continuous component evolves according to a smooth vector. It is clear that the process xt, t 0, which describes the size of consecutive descendants of a single cell is piecewise deterministic but it is nonmarkovian because its future xt, t t 0, depends not only on the random variable xt. Introduction goals some examples a trivial but instructive example a trivial but instructive example another less trivial example. Stochastic modelling and prediction of fatigue crack. The modeling is a key step in order to study the properties of the involved physical process. Average continuous control of piecewise deterministic.

Approximation methods for piecewise deterministic markov. We investigate a piecewisedeterministic markov process, evolving on a polish metric space, whose deterministic behaviour between random jumps is governed by some semiflow, and any state right after the jump is attained by a randomly selected continuous transformation. For each in its countable domain k, let e be an open subset 1 of. Piecewise deterministic markov processes for continuous.

It generalizes the class of positive storage processes with costant decay allowing the process to assume negative values. In this context, one is interested in computing certain quantities of interest such as the probability of ruin of an insurance company, or the.
