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 />
