Yaglom limit via Holley inequality
Let S be a countable set provided with a partial order and a minimal element. Consider a Markov chain on S ∪ {0} absorbed at 0 with a quasi-stationary distribution. We use Holley inequality to obtain sufficient conditions under which the following hold. The trajectory of the chain starting from the...

Let S be a countable set provided with a partial order and a minimal element. Consider a Markov chain on S ∪ {0} absorbed at 0 with a quasi-stationary distribution. We use Holley inequality to obtain sufficient conditions under which the following hold. The trajectory of the chain starting from the minimal state is stochastically dominated by the trajectory of the chain starting from any probability on S, when both are conditioned to nonabsorption until a certain time. Moreover, the Yaglom limit corresponding to this deterministic initial condition is the unique minimal quasi-stationary distribution in the sense of stochastic order.
