This paper analyzes the convergence deviation of surrogate assisted (1+1)EA. A model of surrogate assisted (1+1)EA can be built by the finite markov chain, then we got the transition matrix of this algorithm. The deviation of surrogate model can be expressed by the perturbation of transition matrix. So we can estimate the convergence deviation with the method of matrix perturbation analysis. Analyzing of the convergence changes brought by surrogate model’s deviations can help us to have a better select of the surrogate model.

This paper is concerned with the general problem of finding an optimal transition matrix for a finite Markov chain, where the probabilities for each transition must be chosen from a given convex family of distributions. The immediate cost is determined by this choice, but it is required to minimise the average expected cost in the long run. The problem is investigated by classifying the states according to the accessibility relations between them. If an optimal policy exists, it can be found by considering the convex subsystems associated with the states at different levels in the classification scheme.

We consider a finite Markov chain with nearly-completely decomposable stochastic matrix. We determine bounds for the error, when the stationary probability vector is approximated via a perturbation analysis.

Introduction. Two previous papers (1,2) have dealt with additive processes defined on finite Markov chains. Such a process in discrete time may be treated as a bivariate Markov process {R(k), X(k)}. The process R(k) is an irreducible Markov chain on states r = 1, 2, …, R governed by a stochastic transition matrix B0 with components brs. The marginal process X(k) ‘defined’ on the chain R(k) is a sum of random increments ξ(i) dependent on the chain, i.e. if the ith transition takes the chain from state r to state s, ξ,(i) is chosen from a distribution function Drs(x) indexed by r and s. The distribution of the bivariate process may be represented by a vector F(x, k) with componentsThese are generated recursively by the relationwhere the increment matrix distribution B(x) has components brsDrs(x). We denote the nth moment of B(x) by Bn = ∫xndB(x), so that B0 = B(∞).

SummaryLet {kr} (r = 0, 1, 2, …; 1 ≤ kr ≤ h) be a positively regular, finite Markov chain with transition matrix P = (pjk). For each possible transition j → k let gjk(x)(− ∞ ≤ x ≤ ∞) be a given distribution function. The sequence of random variables {ξr} is defined where ξr has the distribution gjk(x) if the rth transition takes the chain from state j to state k. It is supposed that each distribution gjk(x) admits a two-sided Laplace-Stieltjes transform in a real t-interval surrounding t = 0. Let P(t) denote the matrix {Pjkmjk(t)}. It is shown, using probability arguments, that I − sP(t) admits a Wiener-Hopf type of factorization in two ways for suitable values of s where the plus-factors are non-singular, bounded and have regular elements in a right half of the complex t-plane and the minus-factors have similar properties in an overlapping left half-plane (Theorem 1).
