This classical topic has well known applications in interacting particles, intertwining, superprocesses, stochastic monotonicity, exit - entrance laws, ruin probabilities in finances, etc. Aiming mostly at the case of $f$ depending on the difference of its arguments, we shall give a systematic study of duality via the analysis of the generators of dual Markov processes leading to various results and insights.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-04-05T11:58:45.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "stochastic duality", "generators", "systematic study", "stochastic monotonicity", "entrance laws" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1304.1688K" } } }
