    Abstract

    We review what is currently known about one-dimensional distributions on
    the non-negative reals with rational Laplace transform, also known as
    matrix-exponential distributions. In particular we discuss a flow
    interpreation which enables one to mimic certain probabilisticly
    inspired arguments which are known from the theory of phase-type distributions.
    We then move on to present ongoing research for higher dimensions.
    We discuss a characterization result, some closure properties, and
    a number of examples. Finally we present open problems and future
    perspectives.
