  • Abstract
    The paper presents z-transform as a method of functional transformation with respect to its theory and properties in dealing with discrete systems. We therefore obtain the absolute state probabilities as a solution of a differential equation corresponding to a given Birth-and–Death process via the z-transform, and deduce the equivalent stationary state probabilities of the system.
