Unichain Case<br />
.<br />
Corollary<br />
.<br />
Suppose that the Markov chain satisfies the unichain condition with a finite<br />
set of transient states (|T| < ∞) and with an irreducible set R of aperiodic<br />
recurrent states. Then for all states i, j ∈ I<br />
. (i.e., independent of the initial state).<br />
lim<br />
n→∞ p(n) ij = πj<br />
Proof: πj = 0 for for j ∈ T; and fij = 1 for j ∈ R (see slide 7). Then apply<br />
previous slide.<br />
Note: in case of positive recurrence π is a probability distribution ( ∑<br />
j<br />
πj = 1),<br />
see slide 24.<br />
