Abstract

Let \(\mathbf{X}=(X_0,X_1,\ldots)\) be an irreducible Markov chain with state set \(\{1,\ldots,N\}\) and \(H\) be a permutation group on the set \(\{1,\ldots,N\}\). We prove limit theorems for the number of series of \(H\)-equivalent \(s\)-tuples that start before time \(n\) inclusive. These results continue the series of our works within the research direction initiated in the 1970s by A. M. Zubkov and other authors.
