is irreducible and aperiodic. The second chain is also irreducible and aperiodic. The third chain has two aperiodic closed sets {e1 , e2 } and {e3 , e4 } and a transient state e5 . 15.2 Note that both the row sums and column sums are unity in this case. Hence P represents a doubly stochastic matrix here, and

1 uo ui = i+1 (i + 1)!

uk = u 0

1 = e u0 = 1 k!

216 gives u0 = 1/e and the steady state probabilities are given by uk = 1/e , k! k = 1, 2,

15.4 If the zeroth generation has size m, then the overall process may be considered as the sum of m independent and identically distributed k) branching processes x( n , k = 1, 2, m, each corresponding to unity size at the zeroth generation. Hence if 0 represents the probability of extinction for any one of these individual processes, then the overall probability of extinction is given by
n

lim P [xn = 0|x0 = m] =

(1) (2) m) = 0|x0 {x ( n (m)

(2) = P [{x(1) n = 0|x0 = 1} {xn = 0|x0 = 1}

15.5 From (15-288)-(15-289), P (z ) = p 0 + p 1 z + p 2 z 2 , since pk = 0, k 3.

Also p0 + p1 + p2 = 1, and from (15-307) the extinction probability is given by sloving the equation P (z ) = z. Notice that P (z ) z = p0 (1 p1 )z + p2 z 2 = (z 1)(p2 z p0 ) and hence the two roots of the equation P (z ) = z are given by z1 = 1, z2 = p0 . p2

= p 0 (p 0 + p 2 )z + p 2 z 2

Thus if p2 < p0 , then z2 > 1 and hence the smallest positive root of P (z ) = z is 1, and it represents the probability of extinction. It follows

217 that such a tribe which does not produce ospring in abundence is bound to extinct. 15.6 Dene the branching process {xn }

where yk are i.i.d random variables with common moment generating function P (z ) so that (see (15-287)-(15-289)) P (1) = E {yk } = . Thus E {xn+1 |xn } = E { = E{ = E{ Similarly E {xn+2 |xn } = E {E {xn+2 |xn+1 , xn }} = E {E {xn+2 |xn+1 }|xn } and in general we obtain E {xn+r |xn } = r xn . Also from (15-310)-(15-311) E {x n } = n . Dene wn = This gives Dividing both sider of (i) with n+r we get E{ xn xn xn+r r | x = x } = = = wn n n+r n+r n E {wn } = 1. xn . n (ii) (iii) (i) = E {xn+1 |xn } = 2 xn

218 or E {wn+r |wn = which gives E {wn+r |wn } = wn , the desired result. 15.7 sn = x 1 + x 2 + + x n where xn are i.i.d. random variables. We have sn+1 = sn + xn+1 so that E {sn+1 |sn } = E {sn + xn+1 |sn } = sn + E {xn+1 } = sn . Hence {sn } represents a Martingale. 15.8 (a) From Bayes theorem P {xn = j |xn+1 = i} = P {xn+1 = i|xn = j } P {xn = j } P {xn+1 = i} qj pji = qi = p ij , x = w } = wn n

(i)

where we have assumed the chain to be in steady state. (b) Notice that time-reversibility is equivalent to p ij = pij and using (i) this gives p ij = qj pji = pij qi (ii)

or, for a time-reversible chain we get qj pji = qi pij . (iii)

219 Thus using (ii) we obtain by direct substitution q pij pjk pki = qj pji i = pik pkj pji , the desired result. 15.9 (a) It is given that A = AT , (aij = aji ) and aij > 0. Dene the ith row sum aik > 0, i = 1, 2, ri =

qk p qj kj

and let pij = Then pji =

aij aij = . ri k aik a a aji = rji = rij j j ajm

ri aij = ri p =r rj ij j ri or ri pij = rj pji . Hence ri pij =

i i

(i)

rj pji = rj
i

pji = rj ,

(ii)

since pji =

rj = 1. rj

Notice that (ii) satises the steady state probability distribution equation (15-167) with qi = c r i , i = 1, 2, where c is given by c

qi = 1 = c =

(iii)

represents the stationary probability distribution of the chain. With (iii) in (i) we get qi pji = pij qj or qj pji pij = = p ij qi and hence the chain is time-reversible. 15.10 (a) M = (mij ) is given by M = (I W )1 or (I W )M = I M = I + WM wik mkj , pik mkj , which gives mij = ij + = ij +

15.11 If a stochastic matrix A = (aij ), aij > 0 corresponds to the twostep transition matrix of a Markov chain, then there must exist another stochastic matrix P such that A = P 2, P = (pij )

(b) The general case is solved in pages 743-744. From page 744, with N = 6 (2 absorbing states; 5 transcient states), and with r = p/q we obtain (rj 1)(r 6i 1) , ji (p q )(r 6 1) mij = (ri 1)(r 6i rj i ) , j i. (p q )(r 6 1)

221 where pij > 0,

j

pij = 1,

and this may not be always possible. For example in a two state chain, let 1 P = 1 so that

A = P2 =

2 + (1 )(1 ) ( + )(1 )

2 + (1 )(1 )

( + )(1 )

This gives the sum of this its diagonal entries to be a11 + a22 = 2 + 2(1 )(1 ) + 2 = ( + )2 2( + ) + 2
2

(i)

= 1 + ( + 1)

1.

Hence condition (i) necessary. Since 0 < < 1, 0 < < 1, we also get 1 < a11 + a22 2. Futher, the condition (i) is also sucient in the 2 2 case, since a11 + a22 > 1, gives ( + 1)2 = a11 + a22 1 > 0 and hence + =1 a11 + a22 1

and this equation may be solved for all admissible set of values 0 < < 1 and 0 < < 1. 15.12 In this case the chain is irreducible and aperiodic and there are no absorption states. The steady state distribution {uk } satises (15167),and hence we get

222 Then if > 0 and > 0 then xation to pure genes does not occur. 15.13 The transition probabilities in all these cases are given by (page 765) (15A-7) for specic values of A(z ) = B (z ) as shown in Examples 15A-1, 15A-2 and 15A-3. The eigenvalues in general satisfy the equation (k) (k) pij xj = k xi , k = 0, 1, 2, N
j

and trivially j pij = 1 for all i implies 0 = 1 is an eigenvalue in all cases. However to determine the remaining eigenvalues we can exploit the relation in (15A-7). From there the corresponding conditional moment generating function in (15-291) is given by
N

G(s) =
j =0

pij sj

(i)

where from (15A-7) pij = = {Ai (z )}j {B N i (z )}N j {Ai (z ) B N i (z )}N

coecient of sj z N in {Ai (sz ) B N i (z )} {Ai (z ) B N i (z )}N

(ii)

Substituting (ii) in (i) we get the compact expression G(s) = {Ai (sz ) B N i (z )}N . {Ai (z ) B N i (z )}N (iii)

Dierentiating G(s) with respect to s we obtain

N

G (s) =

{Ai1 (sz ) A (sz ) B N i (z )}N 1 . {Ai (z ) B N i (z )}N

223 Letting s = 1 in the above expression we get {Ai1 (z ) A (z ) B N i (z )}N 1 G (1) = . pij j = i {Ai (z ) B N i (z )}N j =0 In the special case when A(z ) = B (z ), Eq.(v ) reduces to
N N

(v)

pij j = 1 i
j =0

(vi)

where

{AN 1 (z ) A (z )}N 1 . { A N (z )} N Notice that (vi) can be written as 1 = P x 1 = 1 x1 , x1 = [0, 1, 2, N ]T

(vii)

and by direct computation with A(z ) = B (z ) = (q + pz )2 (Example 15A-1) we obtain 1 = {(q + pz )2(N 1) 2p(q + pz )}N {(q + pz )2N }N 2p{(q + pz ) }N 1 = {(q + pz )2N }N
2N 1

2p

2N q N pN 1 N 1 = 1. 2N N N q p N

Thus N j =0 pij j = i and from (15-224) these chains represent Martingales. (Similarly for Examples 15A-2 and 15A-3 as well). To determine the remaining eigenvalues we dierentiate G (s) once more. This gives
N

G (s) =

pij j (j 1) sj 2

{i Ai2 (sz ) B N i (z )[(i 1) (A (sz )) + A(sz ) A (sz )]}N 2 . = {Ai (z ) B N i (z )}N

224 With s = 1, and A(z ) = B (z ), the above expression simplies to

N j =0

pij j (j 1) = 2 i(i 1) + i2

(viii)

where 2 = and 2 = {AN 1 (z ) A (z )}N 2 . { A N (z )} N {AN 2 (z ) [A (z )]2 }N 2 { A N (z )} N

Eq. (viii) can be rewritten as

N j =0

pij j 2 = 2 i2 + (polynomial in i of degree 1)

and in general repeating this procedure it follows that (show this)

N j =0

pij j k = k ik + (polynomial in i of degree k 1)

(ix)

where k = {AN k (z ) [A (z )]k }N k , { A N (z )} N k = 1, 2, N. (x)

Equations (viii)(x) motivate to consider the identities P q k = k qk (xi)

where qk are polynomials in i of degree k , and by proper choice of constants they can be chosen in that form. It follows that k , k = 1, 2, N given by (ix) represent the desired eigenvalues. (a) The transition probabilities in this case follow from Example 15A-1 (page 765-766) with A(z ) = B (z ) = (q + pz )2 . Thus using (ix) we

225 obtain the desired eigenvalues to be k = {(q + pz )2(N k) [2p(q + pz )]k }N k {(q + pz )2N }N {(q + pz )2N k }N k {(q + pz )2N }N }

k = 1, 2, N.

(b) The transition probabilities in this case follows from Example 15A-2 (page 766) with A(z ) = B (z ) = e(z1) and hence {e(N k)(z1) k ek(z1) }N k k = {eN (z1) }N = =

k = 1, 2, N

(c) The transition probabilities in this case follow from Example 15A-3 (page 766-767) with q A (z ) = B (z ) = . 1 pz Thus {1/(1 pz )N +k }N k k = p k {1/(1 pz )N }N = (1)k (N + k ) N k N N = 2N 1 N k , 2N 1 N r = 2, 3, N

226 15.14 From (15-240), the mean time to absorption vector is given by m = (I W )1 E, where Wik = pjk , j, k = 1, 2, N 1, E = [1, 1, 1]T ,

with pjk as given in (15-30) and (15-31) respectively. 15.15 The mean time to absorption satises (15-240). From there mi = 1 +

pik mk = 1 + pi,i+1 mi+1 + pi,i1 mi1

From (vi), a single queue conguration is more ecient then two separate queues. 16.3 The only non-zero probabilities of this process are 0,0 = 0 = m, i,i+1 = (m i) , 0,1 = i,i1 = i

Notice that |f (z )| > |g (z )| in a circle dened by |z | = 1 + , > 0. Hence by Rouches Theorem f (z ) and f (z )+ g (z ) have the same number of zeros inside the unit circle (|z | = 1 + ). But f (z ) has m zeros inside the unit circle. Hence f (z ) + g (z ) = M (z ) also has m zeros inside the unit circle. Hence M (z ) = M 1 (z ) (z z 0 ) (ii) where |z0 | > 1 and M1 (z ) is a polynomial of degree m whose zeros are all inside or on the unit circle. But the moment generating function P (z ) is analytic inside and on the unit circle. Hence all the m zeros of M (z ) that are inside or on the unit circle must cancel out with the zeros of the numerator polynomial of P (z ). Hence N (z ) = M1 (z ) a. (iii)

(b) State-Dependent Service Distribution Let Bi (t) represent the service-time distribution for those customers entering the system, where the most recent departure left i customers in the queue. In that case, (15.218) modies to ak,i = P {Ak |Bi } where Ak = k customers arrive during a service time and Bi = i customers in the system at the most recent departure. This gives

Substituting (iii) into (i) we get w (s) =

From Theorem 15.9 on Extinction probability (pages 759-760) it follows that if = A (1) > 1, the eqution A (z ) = z (i)

has a unique positive root 0 < 1. On the other hand, the transient state probabilities {i } satisfy the equation (15.236). By direct substii tution with xi = 0 we get

pij xj =
j =1 j =1

j aj i+1 0

(ii)

where we have made use of pij = aj i+1 , i 1 in (15.33) for an M/G/1 queue. Using k = j i + 1 in (ii), it reduces to
k+i1 i1 ak 0 = 0 k=2i k=0 k ak 0

i i1 = xi 0 = 0 = 0

(iii)

since 0 satises (i). Thus if > 1, the M/G/1 system is transient i with probabilities i = 0 . 16.15 (a) The transition probability matrix here is the truncated version of (15.34) given by

and it corresponds to the upper left hand block matrix in (15.34) followed by an mth column that makes each row sum equal to unity. (b) By direct sybstitution of (i) into (15-167), the steady state prob m1 abilities {qj }j =0 satisfy

Since the unique solution set to (15.210) is given by {qj } j =0 in (16.203), it follows that the desired probabilities satisfy

j = 0, 1, 2, , m 1

16.16 (a) The event {X (t) = k } can occur in several mutually exclusive ways, viz., in the interval (0, t), n customers arrive and k of them continue their service beyond t. Let An = n arrivals in (0, t), and Bk,n =exactly k services among the n arrivals continue beyond t, then by the theorem of total probability

P { X (t ) = k } =
n=k

P {An Bk,n } =
n=k

P {Bk,n |An }P (An ).

But P (An ) = et (t)n /n!, and to evaluate P {Bk,n |An }, we argue as follows: From (9.28), under the condition that there are n arrivals in (0, t), the joint distribution of the arrival instants agrees with the joint distribution of n independent random variables arranged in increasing order and distributed uniformly in (0, t). Hence the probability that a service time S does not terminate by t, given that its starting time x has a uniform distribution in (0, t) is given by pt =

P (S > t x|x = x)fx (x)dx
