PageRank is defined as the stationary state of a Markov chain. The chain is obtained by perturbing the transition matrix induced by a web graph with a damping factor that spreads...
One of the major tasks of evolutionary biology is the reconstruction of phylogenetic trees from molecular data. The evolutionary model is given by a Markov chain on the true evolu...
Monotone systems of polynomial equations (MSPEs) are systems of fixed-point equations X1 = f1(X1, . . . , Xn), . . . , Xn = fn(X1, . . . , Xn) where each fi is a polynomial with p...

MAP queueing networks are recently proposed models for performance assessment of enterprise systems, such as multi-tier applications, where workloads are significantly affected b...
We extend qualitative reasoning with estimations of the relative likelihoods of the pos sible qualitative behaviors . We estimate the likelihoods by viewing the dynamics o f a sys...
