The RG-Factorizations in Stochastic Models Dr. Quan-Lin Li Department of Industrial Engineering Tsinghua University Beijing 100084, P.R. China
Outline of this talk • Why to need the RG-factorizations • How to constructthe RG-factorizations • How to apply the RG-factorizations • Promising issues in the future
Our main problem is described as follows: Our Question: How to compute? Why to need • From 1996 to 2000, my research focuses on quasi-stationary distributions of stochastic models
Why to need • Our work from 1996 to 1999 was to develop theLU-block-decomposition for Markov chains of M/G/1 type and GI/M/1 type • Our method is different from that used by Bean, Latouche, Taylor etc.
The LU-block-decomposition is Our Question: Such a solution is OK? Why to need
Why to need • For a special Markov chain, we obtained two differentLU-block-decompositions, which lead to two different expressions • One of them is correct and is the same as that in the literature; while another is wrong Why?
Why to need • We analyzed many real examples and then found the main reasons • These computations motivate us to extend theLU-block-decomposition to the RG-factorization
Why to need ? ?
Our Comparisons • Utility of the RG-factorization is related to the classification of state by means of the diagonal matrix, and keep effective computations • Better than LU-decomposition

Promising problems (1) • For the RG-factorizations: 1. It is interesting to consider the d-period for the R-, U- and G-measures. For example (1)A = A0 + A1 + A2 is irreducible and is d-period, the two matrices R and G are d-period? (2) For a Markov chain of GI/G/1 type, what happen to ? Such a work is useful for tailed analysis
Promising problems (2) • For the RG-factorizations: 1.It is interesting to consider spectral analysis for the R-, U- and G-measures. When A = A0 + A1 + A2 is irreducible and is infinite size, how to analyze the spectral of the two matrices R and G ? 2. For a Markov chain of GI/G/1 type, what happen to ?
