Abstract
A special role in biological applications is played by piecewise deterministic Markov processes. It is a large family of different stochastic processes which includes continuous-time Markov chains, deterministic processes with jumps, dynamical systems with random switching and some point processes. In this chapter, we present a number of biological models to illustrate possible applications of such processes.
