On absorption times and Dirichlet eigenvalues

Laurent Miclo (2010)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

This paper gives a stochastic representation in spectral terms for the absorption time T of a finite Markov chain which is irreducible and reversible outside the absorbing point. This yields quantitative informations on the parameters of a similar representation due to O'Cinneide for general chains admitting real eigenvalues. In the discrete time setting, if the underlying Dirichlet eigenvalues (namely the eigenvalues of the Markov transition operator restricted to the functions vanishing on...
