A notion of a wide-sense Markov process X t of order k ≥ 1, X t W M ( k ) , is introduced as a direct generalization of Doob’s notion of wide-sense Markov process (of order k=1 in our terminology). A base for investigation of the covariance structure of X t is the k-dimensional process x t = ( X t - k + 1 , . . . , X t ) . The covariance structure of X t W M ( k ) is considered in the general case and in the periodic case. In the general case it is shown that X t W M ( k ) iff x t is a k-dimensional WM(1) process and iff the covariance function of x t has the triangular property. Moreover, an analogue of Borisov’s theorem is proved for x t . In the periodic case, with period d > 1, it is shown that Gladyshev’s process Y t = ( X ( t - 1 ) d + 1 , . . . , X t d ) is a d-dimensional AR(p) process with p = ⌈k/d⌉.

AB - A notion of a wide-sense Markov process ${X_t}$ of order k ≥ 1, ${X_t} ∼ WM(k)$, is introduced as a direct generalization of Doob’s notion of wide-sense Markov process (of order k=1 in our terminology). A base for investigation of the covariance structure of ${X_t}$ is the k-dimensional process ${x_t = (X_{t-k+1},...,X_t)}$. The covariance structure of ${X_t} ∼ WM(k)$ is considered in the general case and in the periodic case. In the general case it is shown that ${X_t} ∼ WM(k)$ iff ${x_t}$ is a k-dimensional WM(1) process and iff the covariance function of ${x_t}$ has the triangular property. Moreover, an analogue of Borisov’s theorem is proved for ${x_t}$. In the periodic case, with period d > 1, it is shown that Gladyshev’s process ${Y_t = (X_{(t-1)d+1},...,X_{td})}$ is a d-dimensional AR(p) process with p = ⌈k/d⌉.
