Abstract

The effect of a binomial time change on a given Markov chain is studied. Results are obtained for the hitting times, potential operator, and transience and recurrence properties of the time-changed chain. The limiting behavior is considered as the binomial parameter approaches 0 and the time variable approaches∞.
