When Markov chains meet: A continuous-time model of network evolution

Abstract

We suggest a novel approach to model continuous time processes of the interactions of independent elements. The model assumes a finite number of independent Markov chains, each representing an element. Chains move among a common space of states. Sometimes chains intersect, being in the same state at the same time. These intersections relate the chains with each other and imply many interesting processes.
