AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to establish some limit theorems of delayed averages for countable nonhomogeneous Markov chains. The definition of the generalized C-strong ergodicity and the generalized uniformly C-strong ergodicity for countable nonhomogeneous Markov chains is introduced first. Then a theorem about the generalized C-strong ergodicity and the generalized uniformly C-strong ergodicity for the nonhomogeneous Markov chains is established, and its applications to the information theory are given. Finally, the strong law of large numbers of delayed averages of bivariate functions for countable nonhomogeneous Markov chains is proved.

In this article, we study the asymptotic equipartition property (AEP) for asymptotic circular Markov chains. First, the definition of an asymptotic circular Markov chain is introduced. Then by applying the limit property for the bivariate functions of nonhomogeneous Markov chains, the strong limit theorem on the frequencies of occurrence of states for asymptotic circular Markov chains is established. Next, the strong law of large numbers on the frequencies of occurrence of states for asymptotic circular Markov chains is obtained. Finally, we prove the AEP for asymptotic circular Markov chains.

In this paper, we give the definition of tree-indexed Markov chains in random environment with countable state space, and then study the realization of Markov chain indexed by a tree in random environment. Finally, we prove the strong law of large numbers and Shannon–McMillan theorem for Markov chains indexed by a Cayley tree in a Markovian environment with countable state space.
