Equivalence theorems for infinite products of independent random elements on metric semigroups
We provide an extension of topological methods applied to a certain class of Non Feller Models which we call Quasi-Feller. We give conditions to ensure the existence of a stationary distribution. Finally, we strengthen the conditions to obtain a positive Harris recurrence, which in turn implies the existence of a strong law of large numbers.

The paper yields an investigation of the set of all finite measures on the product space with given difference of marginals. Extremal points of this set are characterized and constructed. Sets of uniqueness are studied in the relation to marginal problem. In the optimization problem the support of the optimal measure is described for a class of cost functions. In an example the optimal value is reached by an unbounded sequence of measures.
The characterization of extremal points of the set of probability measures with given marginals is given in the general context of a marginal system. The sets of marginal uniqueness are studied and an example is added to illustrate the theory.
