Abstract

In this dissertation we investigate asymptotic properties of Markov modulated random processes having two-time scales. The model contains a number of mixing sequences modulated by a switching process that is a discrete-time Markov chain. The motivation of our study stems from applications in manufacturing systems, communication networks, and economic systems, in which regime-switching models are used.

This thesis focuses on asymptotic properties of the Markov modulated processes under suitable scaling. Our main effort focuses on obtaining weak convergence and strong approximation results.
