Abstract
(2) For chains with absorbing states, irreducibility on the set of non-absorbing states is required, i.e., we require that for any two states of this set n0, and nF there be a sequence of states n0, n1, …, nF for which θn0θn1 ‥ θnF ≠ 0. If for such non-absorbing states (5.5) is satisfied, the chain satisfies the Kolmogorov condition.
