Let P be the n*n transition matrix of a Markov chain with a finite state space S = {1, 2, ..., n}. Show that 7 is the stationary distribution of the Markov chain, i.e., P = , 2hTi = 1 if and only if (I – P+117) = 17 where I is the n*n identity matrix and 17 = [11...1) is a 1 * n row vector with all components being 1.

Suppose that we have a finite
irreducible Markov chain Xn with stationary distribution π on a
state space S. (a) Consider the sequence of neighboring pairs, (X0,
X1), (X1, X2), (X2, X3), . . . . Show that this is also a Markov
chain and find the transition probabilities. (The state space will
be S ×S = {(i,j) : i,j ∈ S} and the jumps are now of the form (i,
j) → (k, l).) (b) Find the stationary distribution...
Exercise 7.1 (Gamblers ruin). Let (Xt) 120 be the Gambler's chain on state space Ω = {0, 1,2, , N} (i) Show that any distribution r-[a,0,0, ,0, bl on 2 is stationary with respect to the gambler?s (ii) Clearly the gambler's chain eventually visits state 0 or N, and stays at that boundary state introduced in Example 1.1. chain. Also show that any stationary distribution of this chain should be of this form. thereafter. This is called absorbtion. Let Ti...
