Abstract
The limit behavior of Markov chains with discrete time and a finite number of states (MCDT) depending on the number n of its steps has been almost completely investigated [1–4]. In [5], MCDT with forbidden transitions were investigated, and in [6], the sum of a random number of functionals of random variables related by a homogeneous Markov chain (HMC) was considered. In the present paper, we continue the investigation of the limit behavior of the MCDT with random stopping time which is determined by a Markov walk plan II with a fixed number of certain transitions [7, 8]. Here we apply a method similar to that of [6], which allows us to obtain, together with some generalizations of the results of [6], a number of new assertions.
