2. A Markov chain is said to be doubly stochastic if both the rows and columns of the transition matrix sum to 1. Assume that the state space is {0, 1,....m}, and that the Markov chain is doubly stochastic and irreducible. Determine the stationary distribution T. (Hint: there are two approaches. One is to solve T P and ( 1 in general for doubly stochastic matrices. The other is to first solve a few examples, then make an educated guess...

Show that 7 is the stationary distribution of the Markov chain, i.e., P = , 2hTi = 1 if and only if (I – P+117) = 17 where I is the n*n identity matrix and 17 = [11...1) is a 1 * n row vector with all components being 1.

Write down the most general transition matrix for a two state Markov chain (i.e. a random process that is Markov and homogenous). Prove that every such chain has an equilibrium vector. Classify the chains into those that are regular, absorbing and irreducible. Describe the general aysmptotic behavior in time of the chain when started from an arbitrary probability mass vector.
