Abstract

This paper is concerned with submultiplicative moments for the stationary distributions π of some Markov chains taking values in ℝ+ or ℝ which are closely related to the random walks generated by sequences of independent identically distributed random variables. Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for ∫φ(x)π(dx) < ∞, where φ(x) is a submultiplicative function, i.e. φ(0) = 1 and φ(x+y) ≤ φ(x)φ(y) for all x, y.
