摘要
Suppose {X(t); t≥ 0} is a single birth process with birth rate qii+l (i 〉 0) and death rate qij (i 〉 j ≥ 0). It is proved in this paper that (i) if there exists aconstant c≥ 0 such that b(i)-a(i)+ci is nondecreasing with respect to i and a(i) + u(i) - ci ≥ 0 (i≥ 0), then VarX(t)-EX(t)≥-X(0)e^-2ct,t≥0,or (ii) if there exists a constant u(i) - c≥ 0 such that b(i)-a(i)+ci is non-increasing with respect to i and a(i)+u(i)-ci≤0(i≥0),then VarX(t) - EX(t) ≤ -X(0)e^-2c,t ≥ 0 Hereb(i) = qii+1, a(0) = 0, a(i) = ∑j=^ijqii-j (i≥ 1), u(0) = u(1) =0 and u(i) = 1/2∑j=^ij(j - 1)qii-j (i ≥ 2) . This result covers the results for birth-death processes obtained in [7].
