time. The random variables take values in a countable set representing the possible states I of some random system. The Markov property means that the state ( ) contains all the
information needed to make probability statements about the system at later times; this fact, combined with weak conditions of continuity and time invariance, defines the theory of continuous-time Markov chains as it was developed by Kolmogorov, Doeblin, Doob and others see . 4 Kolmogorov showed that there were always finite transition rates from o...
