It is, unfortunately, a necessarily brief and, therefore, incomplete introduction to Markov chains, and we refer the reader to Meyn and Tweedie (1993), on which this chapter is based, for a thorough introduction to Markov chains. Other perspectives can be found in Doob (1953), Chung (1960), Feller (1970, 1971), and Billingsley (1995) for general treatments, and Norris (1997), Nummelin (1984.
CS 798: Homework Assignment 3 (Queueing Theory) Page 3 of 6 8.0 Recurrence Is state 1 in the chain in Exercise 6(c) recurrent? Compute f11, f12and f13. Solution: State 1 is recurrent because the chain is finite and irreducible. f11 is the probability that the process first returns to state 1 after one time step, and this is clearly 0.8.

Probability and Statistics are as much about intuition and problem solving as they are about theorem proving. Because of this, students can find it very difficult to make a successful transition from lectures to examinations to practice, since the problems involved can vary so much in nature.
