In this paper we develop the theory of the so-called $mathbf{W}$ and $mathbf{Z}$ scale matrices for (upwards skip-free) discrete-time and discrete-space Markov additive processes, along the lines of the analogous theory for Markov additive processes in continuous-time. In particular, we provide their probabilistic construction, identify the form of the generating function of $mathbf{W}$ and its connection with the occupation mass formula, which provides the tools for deriving semi-explicit expressions for corresponding exit problems for the upward-skip free process and its reflections, in terms the scale matrices.
Let $mathbb{hat{E}}$ be the upper expectation of a weakly compact but non-dominated family $mathcal{P}$ of probability measures. Assume that $Y$ is a $d$-dimensional $mathcal{P}$-semimartingale under $mathbb{hat{E}}$. Given an open set $Qsubsetmathbb
In this article we determine the Laplace transforms of the main boundary functionals of the oscillating compound Poisson process. These are the first passage time of the level, the joint distribution of the first exit time from the interval and the v
We consider random walk on dynamical percolation on the discrete torus $mathbb{Z}_n^d$. In previous work, mixing times of this process for $p<p_c(mathbb{Z}^d)$ were obtained in the annealed setting where one averages over the dynamical percolation en
We consider a sequence of additive functionals {phi_n}, set on a sequence of Markov chains {X_n} that weakly converges to a Markov process X. We give sufficient condition for such a sequence to converge in distribution, formulated in terms of the cha
We analyse an additive-increase and multiplicative-decrease (aka growth-collapse) process that grows linearly in time and that experiences downward jumps at Poisson epochs that are (deterministically) proportional to its present position. This proces
