Editor's note: As the following article is a chapter (Chapter 8) from David Koenig's book, Practical Control Engineering: Guide for Engineers, Managers, and Practitioners (MATLAB Examples) (McGraw ...

The study of gradient flows and large deviations in stochastic processes forms a vital link between microscopic randomness and macroscopic determinism. By characterising how systems evolve in response ...

Various discrete-time stochastic processes have some kind of recursive or regenerative structure that can be exploited in the study of their properties. Examples include branching processes, ...

We introduce a class of discrete-time stochastic processes generated by interacting systems of reinforced urns. We show that such processes are asymptotically partially exchangeable and we prove a ...

Physicists have shown that Markov processes, widely used to model complex systems, must unfold over a larger space than previously assumed. Scientists believe that time is continuous, not discrete -- ...
