A Polynomial Time Algorithm for Computing Extinction Probabilities of Multitype Branching Processes.
SIAM JOURNAL ON COMPUTING(2017)
摘要
We show that one can approximate the least fixed point solution for a multivariate system of monotone probabilistic polynomial equations in time polynomial in both the encoding size of the system of equations and in log(1/c), where c > 0 is the desired additive error bound of the solution. (The model of computation is the standard Turing machine model.) We use this result to resolve several open problems regarding the computational complexity of computing key quantities associated with some classic and well studied stochastic processes, including multitype branching processes and stochastic context-free grammars.
