AbstractIn this paper, we investigate the stability of functionals and trajectories of two different, independent, time-inhomogeneous, discrete-time Markov chains on a general state space. We obtain various stability estimates such as an estimate for a difference in expectations of functionals, {L_{2}} stability, and a probability of large deviations. The key condition that is used is the minorization condition on the whole space. We consider different limitations on the functional and on the proximity of two chains. We use the coupling method as a primary technique in our proofs.

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.
