Show that an irreducible Markov chain with a finite state space and transition matrix P is reversible in equilibrium if and only if P = DS for some symmetric matrix S and diagonal matrix D with strictly positive diagonal entries. Show further that for reversibility in equilibrium to hold, it is necessary but not sufficient that P has real eigenvalues.
