Let X = {Xt, t ≥ 0} be a stationary Markov process with values in a measurable space (S, ℬ), transition function p, and initial distribution concentrated at a point x ∊ S. The occupation times of a set A ∊ ℬ are defined for t ≥ 0 by

where 1A is the indicator function of A. The expected occupation times are given by
