A constructive proof of the phase-type characterization theorem

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

The paper presents a new proof of O'Cinneide's characterization theorem. It is much simpler than the original one and constructive in the sense that we not only show the existence of a phase type representation, but present a procedure which creates a phase type representation. We prove that the procedure succeeds when the conditions of the characterization theorem hold.
