We assume that the evolution of a risk can be described in terms of the presence of the risk itself, at every point of time, in a certain state belonging to a specified set of states, or state space. Furthermore, we assume that the aforementioned events correspond to transitions from one state to another state.
The graph of Fig. 1.1 illustrates a set of four states, numbered 1 to 4 (nodes of the graph), and a set of possible ‘direct’ transitions between states, denoted by pairs such as (1, 2), (2,1), (1,3), etc. (arcs). ‘Indirect’ transitions can be represented by sequences of arcs: for example, a transition from 2 to 3 can be represented by the sequence (2,1), (1,3).
For instance, let us suppose that state 1 i...
