2020 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary: 60J10 [MSN][ZBL]

A sequence of random variables with the properties:

1) the set of values of each is finite or countable;

2) for any and any ,

(*)

A generalized Markov chain satisfying (*) is called -generalized. For , (*) is the usual Markov property. The study of -generalized Markov chains can be reduced to the study of ordinary Markov chains. Consider the sequence of random variables whose values are in one-to-one correspondence with the values of the vector

The sequence forms an ordinary Markov chain.
