Abrupt Convergence and Escape Behavior for Birth and Death Chains
Javiera Barrera, Olivier Bertoncini, Roberto Fernández
We link two phenomena concerning the asymptotical behavior of stochastic processes: (i) abrupt convergence or cut-off phenomenon, and (ii) the escape behavior usually associated to…
