Let $S$ be a countable set provided with a partial order and a minimal element. Consider a Markov chain on $S\cup\{0\}$ absorbed at $0$ with a quasi-stationary distribution. We use Holley inequality to obtain sufficient conditions under…

We construct a simple example, surely known to Harry Kesten, of an R-transient Markov chain on a countable state space S with cemetery state delta. The transition matrix K on S is irreducible and strictly substochastic. We determine the…

We give conditions for the existence of a Yaglom limit for R-transient Markov chains with non-trivial rho-Martin entrance boundary (rho=1/R) and we characterize the rho-invariant limiting quasistationary distribution.

Consider a subcritical branching Markov chain. Let $Z_n$ denote the counting measure of particles of generation $n$. Under some conditions, we give a probabilistic proof for the existence of the Yaglom limit of $(Z_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ by…

We discuss the existence and characterization of quasi-stationary distributions and Yaglom limits of self-similar Markov processes that reach 0 in finite time. By Yaglom limit, we mean the existence of a deterministic function $g$ and a…

We consider reversible ergodic Markov chains with finite state space, and we introduce a new notion of quasi-stationary distribution that does not require the presence of any absorbing state. In our setting, the hitting time of the…

Consider branching Brownian motion with absorption in which particles move independently as one-dimensional Brownian motions with drift $-\rho$, each particle splits into two particles at rate one, and particles are killed when they reach…

For spectrally positive L\'evy processes killed on exiting the half-line, existence of a quasi-stationary distribution is characterized by the exponential integrability of the exit time, the Laplace exponent and the non-negativity of the…

We consider the classical Yaglom limit theorem for a branching Markov process $X = (X_t, t \ge 0)$, with non-local branching mechanism in the setting that the mean semigroup is critical, i.e. its leading eigenvalue is zero. In particular,…

In this paper, we consider absorbing Markov chains $X_n$ admitting a quasi-stationary measure $\mu$ on $M$ where the transition kernel $\mathcal P$ admits an eigenfunction $0\leq \eta\in L^1(M,\mu)$. We find conditions on the transition…

We consider one-dimensional branching Brownian motion in which particles are absorbed at the origin. We assume that when a particle branches, the offspring distribution is supercritical, but the particles are given a critical drift towards…

We give the asymptotics of the tail of the distribution of the first exit time of the isotropic $\alpha$-stable L\'evy process from the Lipschitz cone in $\mathbb{R}^d$. We obtain the Yaglom limit for the killed stable process for the cone.…

We are interested in quasi-stationarity and quasi-ergodicity when the absorbing boundary is moving. First we show that, in the moving boundary case, the quasi-stationary distribution and the quasi-limiting distribution are not well-defined…

We consider periodic Markov chains with absorption. Applying to iterates of this periodic Markov chain criteria for the exponential convergence of conditional distributions of aperiodic absorbed Markov chains, we obtain exponential…

We study quasi-stationary distributions and quasi-limiting behavior of Markov chains in general reducible state spaces with absorption. We propose a set of assumptions dealing with particular situations where the state space can be…

We study the long time behaviour of a Markov process evolving in $\mathbb{N}$ and conditioned not to hit 0. Assuming that the process comes back quickly from infinity, we prove that the process admits a unique quasi-stationary distribution…

We give computable bounds on the rate of convergence of the transition probabilities to the stationary distribution for a certain class of geometrically ergodic Markov chains. Our results are different from earlier estimates of Meyn and…

We study the existence and the exponential ergodicity of a general interacting particle system, whose components are driven by independent diffusion processes with values in an open subset of $\mathds{R}^d$, $d\geq 1$. The interaction…

We study the asymptotics of the survival probability for the critical and decomposable branching processes in random environment and prove Yaglom type limit theorems for these processes. It is shown that such processes possess some…

This paper studies limit theorems for Markov Chains with general state space under conditions which imply subgeometric ergodicity. We obtain a central limit theorem and moderate deviation principles for additive not necessarily bounded…
