Embedding of reversible Markov matrices

Probability 2025-12-01 v1

Abstract

The embeddability of reversible Markov matrices into time-homogeneous Markov semigroups is revisited, with some focus on simplifications and extensions. In particular, we do not demand irreducibility and consider weakly reversible matrices as well as reversible matrices with negative eigenvalues.
