摘要: Starting from an abstract setting which extends the property “skip free to left” for transition matrices a partition of state space, we develop bounds mean hitting time Markov chain arbitrary subset initial law. We apply our theory embedded chains associated with M/G/1 and GI/M/1 queueing systems. also illustrate its applicability asymptotic analysis non-reversible Markovian star network losses.
