Abstract:
Sufficient conditions for the existence of non-trivial invariant measures are given both for Feller non-recurrent chains on the locally compact spaces and for the irreducible non-recurrent Markov chains (theorems 3.1, 4.1, 4.2). The second case is reduced to the Fellerian one by means of the construction of a corresponding extension of an initial chain (theorems 1.1, 2.1).
