Abstract
An analytical approach to the study of Markov processes is proposed. Using an algorithm for selective search of input–output operators and simple analytical procedures, time probability functions are obtained for real and complex conjugate eigenvalues of the transition intensity matrix. Estimates of the time of onset of the stationary regime are given. Examples of the analysis of homogeneous and heterogeneous Markov processes with piecewise constant transition intensities, non-Markov processes with pseudo-states generated by Erlang flows, as well as substantiation of requirements for the intensity of restoration (efficiency of the repair body) in a technical system are considered. The main results are illustrated by probability estimation in a rigorous analytical form.
