Abstract
An Interactive Markov Chain is a population process in which each individuals's transitions depend on the population's distribution over the various states. We investigate a certain aspect of such process’ dynamics for a fixed population size. Conditions for convergence to steady‐state regardless of population size are provided.Keywords
