4.4.3 Consider a random walk Markov chain on state 0;1; : : : ;N with transition probability matrix

0 1 23 00000 0 1 2 3 4 5 10 0

where pi Cqi D 1;pi > 0;qi > 0 for all i.
The transition probabilities from state 0 and N “reflect” the process back into state 1;2; : : : ;N ????1. Determine the limiting distribution.
