Consider a Markov chain with states 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and a transition probability matrix P = [2/7 3/7 1/7 0 1/7] [2/5 1/5 0 1/5 1/5] [0 0 2/3 1/3 0] [0 0 1/2 1/2 0] [0 0 0 0 1] a. Specify the classes of the Markov chain and determine whether they are recurrent or transient. b. Find lim_{n→∞} P_{3,4}^n. c. Find lim_{n→∞} P_{1,2}^n. d. If X_0 = 1, find the mean number of transitions until either state 3 or 4 is entered.

Consider the Markov chain whose transition probability matrix is: [ 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1/3 1/3 1/3 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1/2 0 0 0 1/2 ] (a) Classify the states {0,1,2,3,4,5} into classes. (b) Identify the recurrent and transient states. (c) Compute the period of each recurrent class. (d) Identify the ergodic states.

A discrete time Markov chain with state space {1,2,3,4,5,6,7} has the following transition matrix: Write down the communication classes of the chain. Find the period of each communicating class. Determine which classes are essential. Classify each essential communicating class as transient, positive recurrent, or null recurrent. Describe the long run behavior of the chain (including deriving long run probabilities where appropriate). Given Xo, find the long run proportion of time the chain spends in each state. Find the expected number of steps taken for the chain to first reach state 3, given the chain starts at state Xo.
