The paper proposes an approach to evaluate hypotheses about transition dynamics when only the distributions at two points in time are observed. Using the principle of statistical mechanics, we show how to adjust in the "most probable" way a hypothesis so that it becomes compatible with the...

We propose an approach to measure the mobility immanent in regular Markov processes. For this purpose, we distinguish between mobility in equilibrium and mobility associated with convergence towards equilibrium. The former aspect is measured as the expectation of a functional, defined on the...
