An episode of the algorithm ends when state s _ { t + 1 } is a final state ( or, " absorbing state " ).

The induced absorption bands in the material, caused by F-centers created by electron bombardment, can be returned to their non-absorbing state, usually by light and / or heating.
13.
The length of a vacancy chain is the number of moves a vacancy makes after its entrance into a system, and this includes the terminal move to the absorbing state.
14.
That hasn't gone over well with some members of the academic community, who believe spending on athletics has gotten out of control-- particularly when the school is absorbing state budget cuts.
15.
A distribution on \ { 0, 1, 2, . . . \ } is a discrete phase-type distribution if it is the distribution of the first passage time to the absorbing state of a terminating Markov chain with finitely many states.
16.
If we have a " k + 1 " state process, where the first " k " states are transient and the state " k + 1 " is an absorbing state, then the distribution of time from the start of the process until the absorbing state is reached is phase-type distributed.
