    Passage-time moments for positively recurrent Markov chains (English)
    0 references
    The authors are concerned with the fractional moments of the passage-time for continuous Markov chains. A criterion of the finiteness of the fractional moments is obtained in terms of the convergence rate of the transition probability to the stationary distribution. Finally, as an application, it is proved that the passage time of a direct product process of Markov chains has the same order of the fractional moments as that of the single Markov chain.
