Chapter 4Long-time behavior

4.1 Path regeneration and convergence

In this section, let c04-math-0001 be an irreducible recurrent Markov chain on c04-math-0002. For c04-math-0003, let the counting measure c04-math-0004 with integer values, and the empirical measure c04-math-0005, which is a probability measure, be the random measures given by

equation

so that if c04-math-0007 is a real function on c04-math-0008, then

and if c04-math-0010 is in c04-math-0011, then

For any state , Lemma 3.1.3 yields that , and hence ...
