Abstract
The techniques used by Doeblin and Chung to obtain ordinary limit laws (central limit laws, weak and strong laws of large numbers, and laws of the iterated logarithm) for Markov chains, are extended to obtain analogous functional limit laws for stochastic processes which have embedded processes satisfying these laws. More generally, it is shown how functional limit laws of a stochastic process are related to those of a process embedded in it. The results herein unify and extend many existing limit laws for Markov, semi-Markov, queueing, regenerative, semi-stationary, and subordinated processes.Keywords
