Competition Processes
Abstract
Some of the simpler theoretical models which have been proposed for phenomena (for example, the competition between species or the occurrence of epidemics) which involve stochastic interactions between several populations have the common feature that they are Markov processes, homogeneous in time, with a countable set of states (m, n) where m and n represent the sizes of two populations. These processes are specified by prescribing the rates at which transitions occur, only transitions to "neighboring" states being allowed: a formal definition of such "competition processes" will be given in section 2.
