Piecewise deterministic Markov processes driven by scalar conservation laws
arXiv:1901.10264
Abstract
We investigate piecewise deterministic Markov processes (PDMP), where the deterministic dynamics follows a scalar conservation law and random jumps in the system are characterized by changes in the flux function. We show under which assumptions we can guarantee the existence of a PDMP and conclude bounded variation estimates for sample paths. Finally, we apply this dynamics to a production and traffic model and use this framework to incorporate the well-known scattering of flux functions observed in data sets.
