Any two events that are independent implies that the time between them are independent
Theorem: By the Strong Markov Property, for a stopping time T and a Markov chain at state $X_{T_{n}} = y$, the state $X_{T_{n}+k}$ for $k\geqslant 0$ is independent of $X_{T_{n}}$ or $X_{T_{n}+k}$ …

Detailed balance distribution reflecting a random walk
This above example happens in an infinite state space $S = {i}_{i=1}$
By the definition of detailed balance condition,

idea behind Poisson process property
A property of Poisson process says this:
$N\left ( t \right )$ has independent increments:
if $t_{0}<\cdot \cdot \cdot <t_{n}$
then
$N\left ( t_{1} \right )-N\left ( t_{0} \right ),\cdot \cdot \cdot …

Definition of (contiuous-time) Markov chain transition rate
Suppose that the rate at which a Markov chain leaves state i at some time t is $\lambda_{i}$.
I.e., What is the rate at which $X_{t}$ leaves state i.
Then, $\lambda_{i} = \sum_{j\neq i}q\left ( i,j \ …

Rearranging of terms to determine exist distribution
(1.19) is saying that a markov chain in moving from state x to some state x+1 requires taking into consideration the possible states that may occur during this transition of state and the associated …
