Review theoretical advances in discontinuous Markov processes and demonstrate their mathematical formulation across biology, physical systems, and actuarial science.
Synthesized contemporary mathematical theory on continuous-time, discrete-state Markov chains.
Analyzed structural similarities across differential-difference equations used to model discrete transition probabilities over time.
Demonstrated that population growth, physical particle cascades, and insurance claims share an identical continuous-time stochastic foundation.
Showed that exact transition probability distributions can be systematically derived for complex birth-and-death and renewal systems.
