We provide a framework for interconnecting a collection of reversible Markov processes in such a way that the resulting process has a product-form invariant measure with respect to which the process is reversible. A number of examples are discussed including Kingman&s reversible migration process, interconnected random walks and stratified clustering processes.

We provide a general framework for interconnecting a collection of quasi-reversible nodes in such a way that the resulting process exhibits a product-form invariant measure. The individual nodes can be quite general, although some degree of internal balance will be assumed. Any of the nodes may possess a feedback mechanism. Indeed, we pay particular attention to a class of feedback queues, characterized by the fact that their state description allows one to maintain a record of the order in which events occur. We also examine in some detail the problem of determining for which values of the arrival rates a node does exhibit quasi-reversibility.

Certain stochastic models used in population genetics have the form of Markov processes in which a group of N points moves randomly on a line, and in which an equilibrium distribution exists for the relative configura­tion of the group. The properties of this equilibrium are studied, with particular reference to a certain limiting situation as N becomes large. In this limit the group of points is distributed like a large sample from a distribution which is itself subject to random variation.

In the present paper, we construct QMCs (Quantum Markov Chains) associated with Open Quantum Random Walks such that the transition operator of the chain is defined by OQRW and the restriction of QMC to the commutative subalgebra coincides with the distribution [Formula: see text] of OQRW. This sheds new light on some properties of the measure [Formula: see text]. As an example, we simply mention that the measure can be considered as a distribution of some functions of certain Markov processes. Furthermore, we study several properties of QMC and associated measures. A new notion of [Formula: see text]-recurrence of QMC is studied, and the relations between the concepts of recurrence introduced in this paper and the existing ones are established.

A simple operation is described which inverts Bernoulli multiplication. It is used to define two classes of stationary reversible Markov processes with general marginal distribution. These are compared to the DAR(1) process of Jacobs and Lewis (1978). LJAR(1) is used to model ovulation rate time series.
