Abstract

In the study of null-persistent Markov chains the sequence plays an important role. (See for example, Orey (1971), Athreya and Ney (1980).) In this paper we consider the rate of growth of UN to ∞ as N → ∞. This rate of growth is related to the rate of growth of as N → ∞ and also to the rate at which as n → ∞.
