of a homogeneous Markov chain with a countable set of states
A state (say, $i$) for which the density of the transition probability,
$$a_{ii}=\lim_{h\downarrow0}\frac{p_{ii}(h)-1}{h},$$
where $p_{ii}(h)$ is the probability of transition from $i$ to $i$ in time $h$, is equal to $-\infty$. In the opposite case the state $i$ is called non-instantaneous, or retarded.
