Abstract

This note is concerned with integral representations of some transition probabilities of countable state space Markov chains embedded in birth and death processes, of the serial covariances of functions defined on such chains when stationary, and finally the properties of the spectral measure of stationary processes with monotonically decreasing or completely monotonic serial covariances.
