Quasi-stationary distributions for continuous-time $λ$-recurrent jump processes

Abstract: For the continuous-time $\lambda$-recurrent jump process, the $\lambda$-recurrence assures the existence of quasi-stationary distribution when it has finite exit states (the states that have positive killing rates). And we give an explicit representation for this quasi-stationary distribution through $Q$-matrix, where the components of the quasi-stationary distribution outside the set $H$ of exit states can be represented by those within $H$. Sufficient condition is also provided for quasi-stationary distribution when the exit states are infinite.
