Abstract
The classical condition for regularity of a Markov chain is extended to include semi-Markov chains. In addition, for any given semi-Markov chain, we find Markov chains which exhibit identical regularity properties. This is done either (i) by transforming the state space or, alternatively, (ii) by imposing conditions on the holding-time distributions. Brief consideration is given to the problem of extending the results to processes other than semi-Markov chains.
