Thus by two different arguments, one based on the kolmogorov backward equation, and the other based on it.
In mathematics, specifically in the theory of markovian stochastic processes in probability theory, the chapman kolmogorov equation is an identity relating the joint probability distributions of different sets of coordinates on a stochastic process. These equations are pic and are most easily understood by noting that pic represents the probability that starting in i the process will go to state j in n 1 m transitions through a path which takes it into state k at the nth transition.
