Abstract
Abstract Continuous-time Markov chains have transition matrices that vary continuously in time. Classical theory of nonnegative matrices, M-matrices and matrix exponentials is used in the literature to study their dynamics, probability distributions and other stochastic properties. For the benefit of Perron-Frobenius cognoscentes, this theory is surveyed and further adapted to study continuous-time Markov chains on finite state spaces.
