This paper presents a method to transform Fuzzy Markov chains into Crisp Markov chains by means of an equivalence matrix derived from the concept of Scalar cardinality of a fuzzy set. This proposal is a linear transformation ...

This paper presents a simulation study on Fuzzy Markov chains to identify some characteristics about their behavior, based on matrix analysis. Through experimental evidence it is observed that most of fuzzy Markov chains ...

The main results of this note extend a theorem of Kesten for symmetric random walks on discrete groups to group extensions of topological Markov chains. In contrast to the result in probability theory, there is a notable ...

We consider binary infinite order stochastic chains perturbed by a random noise. This means that at each time step, the value assumed by the chain can be randomly and independently flipped with a small fixed probability. ...

Consider the basic algorithm to perform the transformation n bar right arrow n + 1 changing digits of the d-adic expansion of n one by one. We obtain a family of Markov chains on the non-negative integers through successive ...

The elevated plus-maze is an animal model of anxiety used to study the effect of different drugs on the behavior of the animal It consists of a plus-shaped maze with two open and two closed arms elevated 50 cm from the ...

In this paper we present a hierarchical Bayesian analysis for a predator-prey model applied to ecology considering the use of Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods. We consider the introduction of a random effect in the model ...
