Abstract

In this paper we consider an independent and identically distributed sequence {Yn} with common distribution function F(x) and a random variable X0, independent of the Yi's, and define a Markovian sequence {Xn} as Xi = X0, if i = 0, Xi = k max{Xi− 1, Yi}, if i ≧ 1, k ∈ R, 0 < k < 1. For this sequence we evaluate basic distributional formulas and give conditions on F(x) for the sequence to possess a stationary distribution. We prove that for any distribution function H(x) with left endpoint greater than or equal to zero for which log H(ex) is concave it is possible to construct such a stationary sequence with marginal distributions equal to it. We study the limit laws for extremes and kth order statistics.
