Waiting Time Problems for Patterns in a Sequence of Multi-State Trials
In this paper, we investigate waiting time problems for a finite collection of patterns in a sequence of independent multi-state trials. By constructing a finite GI/M/1-type Markov chain with a disaster and then using the matrix analytic method, we can obtain the probability generating function of t...
