Abstract

Let {Yn: n ≧ 1} be a Harris-recurrent Markov chain on a general state space. It is shown that {Yn} is strong mixing, provided there exists a stationary probability distribution π (·) for {Yn}. Necessary and sufficient conditions for an autoregressive process to be uniform mixing are given.
