In the present paper, we present the concept of a perturbed non-homogeneous Markov system in continuous time. The expected population structure of the system is found and its asymptotic behaviour is provided under more realistic assumptions than in previous studies, by relaxing the assumption that t

โฆ Synopsis
A review of the evolution of the theory of non-homogeneous Markov systems (NHMSs) is given. It starts with the definition of the stochastic process NHMS, discusses the variability of the process and provides as examples some real applications of the theory. Then, important novel ideas and basic theorems are presented on: (i) the asymptotic behaviour of NHMSs; (ii) control theory; (iii) cyclic behaviour; (iv) physics of populations: stability, entropy, energy; (v) non-homogeneous semi-Markov systems; (vi) the NHMS in a stochastic environment. 1998
