For each of the below listed descriptions, provide the transition graph of a Markov
Chain that satisfies them. Explain in a few sentences why your example has the properties. If
such an example does not exist, explain why:
(a) A 2 state Markov Chain without limiting distribution but with at least one stationary
distribution.
(b) A 2 state Markov Chain with limiting distribution. Determine it.
(c) An irreducible 4 state Markov Chain which is not aperiodic.
(d) An irreducible 3 state Markov Chain which is aperiodic.
(e) An irreducible 4 state Markov Chain which is aperiodic and such that the expected return
time to state 1 is infinite (i.e. E[T₁|X0 = 1] = ∞.).
(f) A Markov Chain with more than one communication class and a limiting distribution.
