Estimation of First Returning Speed in Null Recurrent Continuous-Time Markov Chains
arXiv:2512.17190
Abstract
This paper establishes a novel connection between null-recurrent CTMCs and electric networks, offering a systematic classification of null-recurrent behavior based on the first returning speed. By leveraging techniques from electric network theory, we present a general method for estimating the first returning speed of null recurrent birth-death processes and provide some important examples.
