Here given three state Markov chain with time parameters a, b, c is as follows Matrix
Let we find stationary distribution is as
that is
........................................ (1)
.........................................(2)
.......................................... (3)
and V0+ V1 + V2 = 1 ..................................... (a)
From equation (2)
V1 = 0.5(V0 + V2 ) ......................................... (4)
Equation (1) becomes
V0 = 0.5 * (0.5(V0 + V2 )) + 0.5 * V2
V0 = 0.25*V0 +0.25*V2 + 0.5 * V2
0.75*V0 = 0.75 * V2
V0 = V2
Therefore equation (4) becomes
V1 = V0
That is equation (a) becomes
V0 + V0 + V0 = 1
V0 = 1/3
That is Stationary distribution is as
