An equation of the form
$$ P ( s , x ; u , \Gamma ) = \ \int\limits _ { E } P ( s , x ; t , d y ) P ( t , y ; u , \Gamma ) ,\ \ s < t < u , $$
that is, a condition imposed on the transition function $ P ( s , x ; t , \Gamma ) $( $ 0 \leq s \leq t < \infty $, $ x \in E $, $ \Gamma \in \mathfrak B $, $ ( E , \mathfrak B ) $ being a measurable space), enabling one (under certain conditions on $ ( E , \mathfrak B ) $) to construct a Markov process for which the conditional probability $ {\mathsf P} _ {s,x} ( x _ {t} \in \Gamma ) $ is the same as $ P ( s , x ; t , \Gamma ) $. Conversely, for a Markov process its transition function $ P ( s , x ; t , \Gamma ) $, which by definition is equal to $ {\mathsf P} _ {s,x} ( x _ {t} \in \Gamma ) $, satisfies the Kolmogorov–Chapman equation, as follows immediately from general properties of conditional probabilities. This was pointed out by S. Chapman [C] and investigated by A.N. Kolmogorov in 1931 (see [K]).

Comments
In Western literature this equation is usually referred to as the Chapman–Kolmogorov equation.
See also (the editorial comments to) Einstein–Smoluchowski equation.
