Estimation and Application of the Convergence Bounds for Nonlinear Markov Chains
非线性马尔可夫链收敛界的估计与应用
Nonlinear Markov Chains (nMC) are regarded as the original (linear) Markov Chains with nonlinear small perturbations. It fits real-world data better, but its associated properties are difficult to describe. A new approach is proposed to analyze the ergodicity and even estimate the convergence bounds of nMC, which is more precise than existing results. In the new method, Coupling Markov about homogeneous Markov chains is applied to reconstitute the relationship between…
