TY - JOUR A1 - Dai Pra, Paolo A1 - Louis, Pierre-Yves A1 - Minelli, Ida T1 - Monotonicity and complete monotonicity for continuous-time Markov chains N2 - We analyze the notions of monotonicity and complete monotonicity for Markov Chains in continuous-time, taking values in a finite partially ordered set. Similarly to what happens in discrete-time, the two notions are not equivalent. However, we show that there are partially ordered sets for which monotonicity and complete monotonicity coincide in continuous time but not in discrete-time Y1 - 2006 UR - https://publishup.uni-potsdam.de/frontdoor/index/index/docId/11983 UR - http://www.elsevier.com/locate/issn/1631073X SN - 1631-073X ER -
