In this paper we consider the generalized Hodgkin-Huxley model introduced in Austin (2008). This model describes the propagation of an action potential along the axon of a neuron at the scale of ion channels. Mathematically, this model is a fully coupled piecewise-deterministic Markov process (PDMP) in infinite dimensions. We introduce two time scales in this model in considering that some ion channels open and close at faster jump rates than others. We perform a slow-fast analysis of this model and prove that, asymptotically, this ‘two-time-scale’ model reduces to the so-called averaged model, which is still a PDMP in infinite dimensions, for which we provide effective evolution equations and jump rates.

Creation of mass processes were treated lately by several authors. The idea was to find some generalized Markov process that will correspond to a semigroup of operators which are not necessarily contraction operators (or equivalently to a quasi transition function which is not submarkov). It was G. A. Hunt [6] who first suggested the idea of Markov processes in which both the starting time and the terminal time are random. Such processes were constructed by Helms [4] and treated also by Nagasawa [12] and the author [10].

Let (Φ t ) t∈ℝ+ be a Harris ergodic continuous-time Markov process on a general state space, with invariant probability measure π. We investigate the rates of convergence of the transition function P t (x, ·) to π; specifically, we find conditions under which r(t)||P t (x, ·) − π|| → 0 as t → ∞, for suitable subgeometric rate functions r(t), where ||·|| denotes the usual total variation norm for a signed measure. We derive sufficient conditions for the convergence to hold, in terms of the existence of suitable points on which the first hitting time moments are bounded. In particular, for stochastically ordered Markov processes, explicit bounds on subgeometric rates of convergence are obtained. These results are illustrated in several examples.

In this paper, we are concerned with the global dynamical behavior of a multigroup SVIR epidemic model, which is formulated as a piecewise-deterministic Markov process. We first obtain sufficient criteria for extinction of the diseases. Then we establish sufficient criteria for persistence in the mean of the diseases. Moreover, in the case of persistence, we find a domain which is positive recurrence for the solution of the stochastic system by constructing an appropriate Lyapunov function with regime switching.
