Abstract

Reversibility of Markov chains and Markov processes is a well-studied area. In this paper, we derive a set of necessary and sufficient conditions for the reversibility of a semi-Markov process, which is a generalization of known results. We discuss the relation between the reversibility of the continuous-time process with that of its underlying discrete-time Markov-renewal process.
