Say we have a transition matrix with entries P11= 5/6, P12=1/6, P21=0 and P22=1. This is clearly not irreducable chain and aperiodic. So according to Notes this chain does not have equilibrium distribution ( because to have it chain has to be finte, irreducable and aperiodic).
However, as I understand it this chain does have equilibrium distribution (0,1), because the process will end up in state 2 in the long term.
So how to reconcile these two results?
Thanks
