Markov chain

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Acronyms, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Markov chain, Markov model
a mathematical model that makes it possible to study complex systems by establishing a state of the system and then effecting a transition to a new state, such a transition being dependent only on the values of the current state, and not dependent on the previous history of the system up to that point.

Some areas studied include a mathematical-model approach to chlamydial infection in Japan, time-inhomogeneous Markov chains and ergodicity arising from nonlinear dynamic systems and optimization, solutions to open problems in n-dimensional fluid dynamics, exact penalty functions for constrained optimization problems, and the development of Lyapunov's direct method in the application to new types of problems of hydrodynamic stability theory.
Markov chain models were then applied and 5-, 10- and 20-year projections were calculated.
Steffen used the Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm.
