We give sufficient condition for such a sequence to converge in distribution, formulated in terms of the characteristics of the additive functionals, and related to the Dynkin's theorem on the convergence of W-functionals. As an application of the main theorem, the general sufficient condition for convergence of additive functionals in terms of transition probabilities of the chains X_n is proved.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-04-04T07:28:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60J55", "60F17" ], "keywords": [ "additive functionals", "markov chains", "invariance principle", "general sufficient condition", "markov process" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007arXiv0704.0508K" } } }
