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...
