Question:
Consider a Birth-Death process with birth rates {λn} and death rates {µn}, where µ0= 0.
Let Ti: the time, starting from state i, it takes for the process to enter i+1 for the first time, i ≥ 0.
Assume that it is allowed to go below i before reaching i+1. For i > 0, we have two scenarios:
• i -→ i +1,
• i -→ i -1
Denote the random variable 1i, to be the Indicator
Function, such that 1i=1 if i -→ i+1; and
1i=0 if i -→ i-1.
Compute E[Ti1(1i=1)] (notice
Ti multiplied by the indicator function) by giving
details. Hint: relate Ti to Tb;Td, where b and d stand for birth
and death.

4. Consider a Birth and Death process with birth rate λ + 1 and death rate μί i2 0. Show that the expected times to go from state i to i+1 satisfy ET = 1,Vi 0. for any
This homework deals with a birth and death process with a birth rate λ.-lit 1 and m = a 1. A plot of λί and μί are shown below. Give a one-sentence description of how the birth rate is a function of the state of the process, i. Do another one sentence description of the death rate. Then, explain how the birth and death rates will interact. That is, for what states should the process tend to grow, and grow...

1. Single Species Growth Consider a single population where the per capita birth rate declines as the population size grows. Let N(t) be the population size at time t. Consider the following assumptions: (A1) The environment in which the species lives (including the climate, other species and the availability of resources like food, etc.) remains constant. (A2) The per capita birth rate is for some b>0. (A3) The per capita death rate is a constant d > 0. Note: This...
Consider an airport where taxis and customers arrive (exponential interarrival times) with respective rates of 1 and 2 per hour. No matter how many other taxis are present, a taxi will wait. If an arriving customer does not find a taxi, the customer immediately leaves. (a) Model this system as a birth-death process (Hint: determine what the state of the system is at any given time and draw a rate diagram.) (b) Find the average number of taxis that are...

Question 2 (30 Points) Consider a random process where rectangular pulses of width T, are separated in time by intervals of T seconds. The amplitude of each pulse is determined independently and with equal probability to be either 1, 0, or -1. Pulses begin at periodic time instants to tnt where to is a random variable that is uniformly distributed over the range 0 to T. A sample function is shown below. X(t). T; to-T to +...
