Abstract

In this paper, we present an explicit and computable lower bound for the first eigenvalue of birth-death processes with killing. This estimate is qualitatively sharp for birth-death processes without killing. We also establish an approximation procedure for the first eigenvalue of the birth-death process with killing by an increasing principal eigenvalue sequence of some birth-death processes without killing. Some applications of our results are illustrated by many examples.
