Suppose Xn is a Markov chain on the state space S with transition probability p. Let Yn be an independent copy of the Markov chain with transition probability p, and define Zn := (Xn, Yn).
a) Prove that Zn is a Markov chain on the state space S_hat := S × S with transition probability p_hat : S_hat × S_hat → [0, 1] given by
p_hat((x1, y1), (x2, y2)) := p(x1, x2)p(y1, y2).
b) Prove that if π is a stationary distribution with respect to p,
then π_hat : S_hat → [0, 1] defined by
π_hat((a, b)) := π(a)π(b)
is a stationary distribution for p_hat.
