Abstract

Random walk on N\mathbb{N} with negative drift and absorption at 0, when conditioned on survival, has uncountably many invariant measures (quasi-stationary distributions, qsd) νc\nu_c. We study a Fleming-Viot(FV) particle system driven by this process and show that mean normalized densities of the FV unique stationary measure converge to the minimal qsd, ν0\nu_0, as NN \to \infty. Furthermore, every other qsd of the random walk (νc\nu_c, c>0c>0) corresponds to a metastable state of the FV particle system.
