摘要
The concepts of π-irreduciblity, recurrence and transience are introduced into the research field of Markov chains in random environments.That a π-irreducible chain must be either recurrent or transient is proved, a criterion is shown for recurrent Markov chains in double-infinite random environments, the existence of invariant measure of π-irreducible chains in double-infinite environments is discussed,and then Orey's open-questions are partially answered.
