The characterization of a class of quantum Markov semigroups and the associated operator-valued Dirichlet forms based on Hilbert <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>*-module <Emphasis Type="Italic">l</Emphasis><Subscript>2</Subscript>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">A</Emphasis>)

We characterize A-linear symmetric and contraction module operator semigroup{Tt}t∈R+L(l2(A)),where A is a finite-dimensional C-algebra,and L(l2(A))is the C-algebra of all adjointable module maps on l2(A).Next,we introduce the concept of operator-valued quadratic forms,and give a one to one correspondence between the set of non-positive definite self-adjoint regular module operators on l2(A)and the set of non-negative densely defined A-valued quadratic forms.In the end,we obtain that a real and strongly continuous symmetric semigroup{Tt}t∈R+L(l2(A))being Markovian if and only if the associated closed densely defined A-valued quadratic form is a Dirichlet form.

The Closed Subsemigroups of a Clifford Semigroup

In this paper we study the closed subsemigroups of a Clifford semigroup. It is shown that {∪α∈Y′ Gα | Y′∈ P(Y) } is the set of all closed subsemigroups of a Clifford semigroup S = [Y; Gα; ?α, β], where Y′denotes the subsemilattice of Y generated by Y′. In particular, G is the only closed subsemigroup of itself for a group G and each one of subsemilattices of a semilattice is closed. Also, it is shown that the semiring P(S) is isomorphic to the semiring P(Y) for a Clifford semigroup S = [Y; Gα; ?α, β].     

Dissipative operators and additive perturbations in locally convex spaces

Let be a densely defined operator on a Banach space X. Characterizations of when generates a C₀‐semigroup on X are known. The famous result of Lumer and Phillips states that it is so if and only if is dissipative and is dense in X for some . There exists also a rich amount of Banach space results concerning perturbations of dissipative operators. In a recent paper Tyran–Kamińska provides perturbation criteria of dissipative operators in terms of ergodic properties. These results, and others, are shown to remain valid in the setting of general non–normable locally convex spaces. Applications of the results to concrete examples of operators on function spaces are also presented.

Approximations for interactive Markov chains in discrete and continuous time

A class of models called interactive Markov chains is studied in both discrete and continuous time. These models were introduced by Conlisk and serve as a rich class for sociological modeling, because they allow for interactions among individuals. In discrete time, it is proved that the Markovian processes converge to a deterministic process almost surely as the population size becomes infinite. More importantly, the normalized process is shown to be asymptotically normal with specified mean vector and covariance matrix. In continuous time, the chain is shown to converge weakly to a diffusion process with specified drift and scale terms. The distributional results will allow for the construction of a likelihood function from interactive Markov chain data, so these results will be important for questions of statistical inference. An example from manpower planning is given which indicates the use of this theory in constructing and evaluating control policies for certain social systems.

An analogue of the Kunz–Frobenius criterion for the regularity of a local ring in a positive characteristic is established for general commutative semigroup rings.
