Proportional intensities and strong ergodicity for Markov processes
Mark F. Scott, Dean Isaacson · Journal of Applied Probability · 1983
By assuming the proportionality of the intensity functions at each time point for a continuous-time non-homogeneous Markov process, strong ergodicity for the process is determined through strong ergodicity of a related discrete-time Markov process. For processes having proportional intensities, strong ergodicity implies having the limiting matrix L satisfy L · P(s, t) = L, where P(s, t) is the matrix of transition functions.
