Hello people! I am doing my dissertation in Markov chains and i am wondering how can i make a diagram like this? Thank you in advance

Hello,

welcome to the forum!

Here is a start with TikZ, you may complete it.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[border=10pt]{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{positioning}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[
    node distance = 3cm,
    trans/.style  = { above=-0.05, font=\scriptsize },
  ]
  \node                  (0) {0};
  \node [right = of 0] (1) {1};
  \node [right = of 1] (2) {2};
  \node [right = of 2] (3) {3};
  \node [right = of 3] (4) {$\cdots$};
  \draw [-stealth, thick]
      (0) edge                 node [below] {$\nu$}          (1)
      (1) edge                 node [below] {$\nu+\lambda$}  (2)
      (2) edge                 node [below] {$\nu+2\lambda$} (3)
      (3) edge                 node [below] {$\nu+3\lambda$} (4)
      (0) edge [bend left ]    node [trans] {\scriptsize$(1-p)\gamma+\mu$} (1)
      (2) edge [bend right=60] node [trans] {$(1-p)^2\gamma$}              (0)
  ;
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
