Similarly to what happens in discrete-time, the two notions are not equivalent. However, we show that there are partially ordered sets for which stochastic monotonicity and realizable monotonicity coincide in continuous-time but not in discrete-time.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-03-07T19:42:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "continuous-time markov processes", "stochastic monotonicity", "markov chains", "finite partially ordered set", "discrete-time" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Elsevier" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2016arXiv160302223P" } } }
