Abstract:In this paper, we study a convergence theorem for a finite second-order Markov chain indexed by a general infinite tree with uniformly bounded degree. Meanwhile, the strong law of large numbers (LLN) and Shannon-McMillan theorem for a finite second-order Markov chain indexed by this tree are obtained.
