AVERAGING FOR SOME SIMPLE CONSTRAINED MARKOV PROCESSES
Abstract: In this paper, a class of piecewise deterministic Markov processes with underlying fast
dynamic is studied. By using a “penalty method”, an averaging result is obtained
when the underlying dynamic is infinitely accelerated. The features of the averaged
process, which is still a piecewise deterministic Markov process, are fully described.
