Non-Local Solvable Birth-Death Processes (2007.13656v2)

Abstract: In this paper we study strong solutions of some non-local difference-differential equations linked to a class of birth-death processes arising as discrete approximations of Pearson diffusions by means of a spectral decomposition in terms of orthogonal polynomials and eigenfunctions of some non-local derivatives. Moreover, we give a stochastic representation of such solutions in terms of time-changed birth-death processes and study their invariant and their limit distribution. Finally, we describe the correlation structure of the aforementioned time-changed birth-death processes.
