This study derives key metrics for birth-death Markov processes using a regenerative approach. It provides formulas for expected integrals and extinction times, with applications to classical models.

Area of Science:

  • Stochastic processes
  • Mathematical biology
  • Probability theory

Background:

  • Birth-death Markov processes are fundamental in modeling population dynamics and other systems.
  • Understanding extinction time and integrated process behavior is crucial for analyzing system stability.
  • Existing methods may have limitations in deriving exact expressions for these quantities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To derive an expression for the expected integral under the stochastic path of a birth-death Markov process up to extinction time.
  • To derive an expression for the expected time to extinction for these processes.
  • To demonstrate the application of the derived methods to classical birth-death processes.

Main Methods:

  • A regenerative argument is employed to derive the required expressions.

  • The methodology focuses on analyzing the process behavior until its extinction time.
  • The approach is validated through applications to well-known birth-death models.

    • Main Results:

    • An exact expression for the expectation of the integral under the stochastic path up to extinction time has been derived.
    • An exact expression for the expected time to extinction has been obtained.
    • The derived expressions are shown to be applicable to classical birth-death processes.

    Conclusions:

    • The regenerative argument provides a powerful tool for analyzing birth-death Markov processes.
    • The derived expressions offer precise quantitative insights into process behavior and extinction dynamics.
    • This work contributes to the theoretical understanding and practical application of stochastic population models.
