课程简介:

      Markov chains are among the basic and most important examples of random processes. This course is about time-homogeneous Markov chains that evolve with discrete time steps on a countable state space. Basic definitions and facts including recurrence and transience and ergodic theorems for positive recurrent chains will be discussed. If time permits, there we will take a side-trip to explore the Perron-Frobenius theorem. We will also look at some results concerning the potential theory of transient Markov chains, in particular the construction of the Martin boundary and positive harmonic functions. In the closing lectures we will examine nearest neighbour random walks on infinite augmented trees, and show some connections to the rich theory of analysis on fractals.
