Journal of Applied Probability, Vol. 9, No. 4 (Dec., 1972), pp. 821-831 (11 pages) This paper demonstrates that, when in heavy traffic, the quasi-stationary distribution of the virtual waiting time ...

Quasi-stationary distributions (QSDs) offer a compelling framework for understanding the long-term behaviour of Markov processes that possess an absorbing state. In many natural and engineered systems ...

We describe a computational procedure for evaluating the quasi-stationary distributions of a continuous-time Markov chain. Our method, which is an 'iterative version' of Arnoldi's algorithm, is ...

The incredible complexity of a single-celled organism is revealed by a computer model of protein production The second unexpected finding was that although the synthesis of the tripeptide increased ...

Quasi-stationary front: A front (boundary between two air masses) that is nearly stationary or is slowly fluctuating. A quasi-stationary front sometimes becomes a focus for heavy precipitation, and ...
