General Solution of the Poisson Equation for Quasi-Birth-and-Death Processes

Abstract: We consider the Poisson equation (I − P )u = g, where P is the transition matrix of a Quasi-Birth-and-Death (QBD) process with infinitely many levels, g is a given infinite dimensional vector and u is the unknown. Our main result is to provide the general solution of this equation. To this purpose we use the block tridiagonal and block Toeplitz structure of the matrix P to obtain a set of matrix difference equations, which are solved by constructing suitable resolvent triples.

“…Assume we are given a canonical factorization of A(z −1 ), it is a natural question to figure out if also A(z −1 ) admits a canonical factorization, and if it is related to the one of A(z −1 ). This issue is motivated by applications in the solution of the Poisson problem in stochastic models, where both the canonical factorizations of A(z) and A(z −1 ) are needed for the existence of the solution and for providing its explicit expression [1].…”

“…In particular, the fact that some important space-time covariance matrices have the Toeplitz-block Toeplitz form stimulated the study of the inverted multi-dimensional Toeplitz matrices. Among various other interesting recent works on the Toeplitz matrices, convolution operators and their applications, we mention [1,4,5,9,12,15,21,31,38,39,60].…”
