Stochastic Processes for Modeling the Wear of Marine Engine Cylinder Liners

Abstract

… and {N(t);t ≥ 0} is a nonhomogeneous Poisson process … 1)·h,m·h], given the stateW(tm−1) at the time tm−1. This Markov process will henceforth be called the Poisson Markov process … where P is the one-step transition matrix of the Markov chain, whose elements are given by Eq …
