In this paper, we are going to study the strong limit theorem for the relative entropy density rates between two finite asymptotically circular Markov chains. Firstly, we prove some lammas on which the main result based. Then, we establish two strong limit theorem for non-homogeneous Markov chains. Finally, we obtain the main result of this paper. As corollaries, we get the strong limit theorem for the relative entropy density rates between two finite non-homogeneous Markov chains. We also prove that the relative entropy density rates between two finite non-homogeneous Markov chains are uniformly integrable under some conditions.

It is known that for a Bienaymé– Galton–Watson process {Zn } whose mean m satisfies 1 < m < ∞, the limiting random variable in the strong limit theorem can be represented as a random sum of i.i.d. random variables and hence that convergence rate results follow from a random sum central limit theorem. This paper develops an analogous theory for the case m = ∞ which replaces ‘sum' by ‘maximum'. In particular we obtain convergence rate results involving a limiting extreme value distribution. An associated estimation problem is considered.

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.
