We give an improved quantitative version of the Kendall theorem. The Kendall theorem states that under mild conditions imposed on a probability distribution on the positive integers (i.e. a probability sequence) one can prove convergence of its renewal sequence. Due to the well-known property (the first entrance last exit decomposition) such results are of interest in the stability theory of time-homogeneous Markov chains. In particular this approach may be used to measure rates of convergence...

In this paper we consider an absorbing Markov chain with finite number of states. We focus especially on random walk on transient states. We present a graph reduction method and prove its validity. Using this method we build algorithms which allow us to determine the distribution of time to absorption, in particular we compute its moments and the probability of absorption. The main idea used in the proofs consists in observing a nondecreasing sequence of stopping times. Random walk on...

In this paper we study finite state conditional Markov chains (CMCs). We give two examples of CMCs, one which admits intensity, and another one, which does not admit an intensity. We also give a sufficient condition under which a doubly stochastic Markov chain is a CMC. In addition we provide a method for construction of conditional Markov chains via change of measure.

We present a new fundamental intuition forwhy the Kemeny feature of a Markov chain is a constant. This new perspective has interesting further implications.
