Abstract

Using an approach similar to that of Guivarc'h and Hardy (1988), we show that the local limit theorem holds for a Markov chain on a countable state space, with non-uniform ergodicity, when the recurrence is fast enough. We present a detailed study of a typical example, the reflected random walk on the positive half-line with negative mean and finite exponential moment. The results can be extended to some random walks on ℕ.
