Multiplicative Reversible Version of the Transition Matrix;
Spectral Representation
At first we will discuss a method enabling us to transform (ergodic)
transition matrices such that the resulting matrix is reversible.
- Definition
The matrix
is called the multiplicative reversible version of the transition matrix
.
- Remarks
-
This yields the following spectral representation of the
multiplicative reversible version
obtained from the
transition matrix
; see also the spectral representation
given by formula (30).
