Abstract
Reversibility of Markov chains and Markov processes is a well-studied area. In this paper, we derive a set of necessary and sufficient condi tions for the reversibility of a semi-Markov process, which is a gener alization of known results. We discuss the relation between the revers ibility of the continuous-time process with that of its underlying dis crete-time Markov-renewal process.
