In this paper, we provide a methodology for computing the probability distribution of sojourn times for a wide class of Markov chains. Our methodology consists in writing out linear systems and matrix equations for generating functions involving relations with entrance times. We apply the developed methodology to some classes of random walks with bounded integervalued jumps.

Abstract

In this paper, we provide a methodology for computing the probability distribution of sojourn times for a wide class of Markov chains. Our methodology consists in writing out linear systems and matrix equations for generating functions involving relations with entrance times. We apply the developed methodology to some classes of random walks with bounded integervalued jumps.
