dbd_prob {MultiBD}

Transition probabilities of a death/birth-death process

Description

Computes the transition pobabilities of a death/birth-death process using the continued fraction representation of its Laplace transform

Usage

dbd_prob(t, a0, b0, mu1, lambda2, mu2, gamma, a = 0, B, nblocks = 256,
  tol = 1e-12, computeMode = 0, nThreads = 4, maxdepth = 400)

Arguments

mu1

death rate of type 1 particles (a two variables function)

lambda2

mu2

death rate function of type 2 particles (a two variables function)

gamma

transition rate from type 2 particles to type 1 particles (a two variables function)

a

lower bound for the total number of type 1 particles (default a = 0)

B

upper bound for the total number of type 2 particles

nblocks

number of blocks

tol

tolerance

computeMode
