摘要
Conditions are given under which the stationary distribution pi of a Markov chain admits moments of the general form integral f(x) pi (dx), where f is a general function; specific examples include f(x) equals x**r and f(x) equals e**s**x. In general the time-dependent moments of the chain then converge to the stationary moments. It is shown that in special cases this convergence of moments occurs at a geometric rate. The results are applied to random walk on left bracket 0, infinity ).
