We consider a discrete time dynamic system described by a difference equation with periodic coefficients and with additive stochastic noise. Limiting stochastic processes of shiftperiodic dynamical systems. The integer parts give a discretetime random walk for a suitable initial distribution of x0 and converge in. The dependence of yt on the state of nature s will be suppressed. In probability theory and related fields, a stochastic or random process is a mathematical object. Along the way, it discusses a number of interesting applications, including gamblers ruin, random walks on graphs, sequence waiting times, stock option pricing, branching. We investigate the possibility of the periodicity for the solution. Discretetime stochastic processes are considered easier to study because. Discrete event stochastic processes lecture notes for.

Associating the probability of an outcome with that limiting relative frequency is. Discretetime stochastic systems estimation and control torsten. Probability and stochastic processes harvard mathematics. Random walks are stochastic processes that are usually defined as sums of iid random variables or random vectors in euclidean space, so they are processes that change in discrete time. The book 109 contains examples which challenge the theory with counter examples. Another approach is to perform the experiment many times and choose the probability of. The theoretical results developed have been followed by a large number of illustrative examples. But some also use the term to refer to processes that change in continuous time, particularly the wiener process used in finance, which has led to some confusion, resulting in its criticism.

Basic concepts of probability theory, random variables, multiple random variables, vector random variables, sums of random variables and longterm averages, random processes, analysis and processing of random signals, markov chains, introduction to queueing theory and elements of a queueing system. The book develops a fairly complete mathematical theory of discrete markov chains and martingales, and then in section 4 gives some initial ideas about continuous processes. In particular, we found sufficient conditions for existence of a periodic process such that the solution converges to it, including almost surely convergence.
