Inapplied probability, aMarkov additive process (MAP) is a bivariateMarkov process where the future states depends only on one of the variables.[1]
The process is a Markovadditive process with continuous time parametert if[1]
The state space of the process isR × S whereX(t) takes real values andJ(t) takes values in some countable setS.
For the case whereJ(t) takes a more general state space the evolution ofX(t) is governed byJ(t) in the sense that for anyf andg we require[2]
Afluid queue is a Markov additive process whereJ(t) is acontinuous-time Markov chain[clarification needed][example needed].

Çinlar uses the unique structure of the MAP to prove that, given agamma process with a shape parameter that is a function ofBrownian motion, the resulting lifetime is distributed according to theWeibull distribution.
Kharoufeh presents a compact transform expression for the failure distribution for wear processes of a component degrading according to a Markovian environment inducing state-dependent continuous linear wear by using the properties of a MAP and assuming the wear process to be temporally homogeneous and that the environmental process has a finitestate space.
