We want to start with the basics of the theory of Markov chains.
\end{goal}
% \begin{example}[Markov chains with two states]
% Suppose there are two states of a phone line,
% $0$,``free'', or $1$, ``busy''.
% We assume that the state only changes at discrete units of time
% and model this as a sequence of random variables.
% Assume
% \begin{IEEEeqnarra*}{rCl}
% \bP[X_{n+1} = 0 | X_n = 0] &=& p\\
% \bP[X_{n+1} = 0 | X_n = 1] &=& (1-p)\\
% \bP[X_{n+1} = 1 | X_n = 0] &=& q\\
% \bP[X_{n+1} = 1 | X_n = 1] &=& (1-q)
% \end{IEEEeqnarra*}
% for some $p,q \in (0,1)$.
% We can write this as a matrix
% \begin{IEEEeqnarra*}{rCl}
% P &=& \begin{pmatrix}
% p & (1-p) \\
% q & (1-q)
% \end{pmatrix}
% \end{IEEEeqnarra*}
% Note that the rows of this matrix sum up to $1$.
%
% Additionally, we make the following assmption:
% Given that at some time $n$, the phone is in state $i \in \{0,1\}$,
% the behavior of the phone after time $n$ does not depend
% on the way, the phone reached state $i$.
%
% \begin{question}
% Suppose $X_0 = 0$.
% What is the probability, that the phone will be free at times
% $1 \& 2$ and will become busy at time $3$,
% i.e.~what is $\bP[X_1 = 0, X_2 = 0, X_3 = 1]$?
% \end{question}
% We have
% \begin{IEEEeqnarra*}{rCl}
% \bP[X_1 = 0, X_2 = 0, X_3 = 1]
% &=& \bP[X_3 = 0 | X_2 = 0, X_1 = 0] \bP[X_2 = 0, X_1 = 0]\\
% &=& \bP[X_3 = 0 | X_2 = 0] \bP[X_2 = 0, X_1 = 0]\\
% &=& \bP[X_3 = 0 | X_2 = 0] \bP[X_2 = 0 | X_1 = 0] \bP[X_1 = 0]\\
% &=& P_{0,1} P_{0,0} P_{0,0}
% \end{IEEEeqnarra*}
%
% \begin{question}
% Assume $X_0 = 0$. What is $\bP[X_3 = 1]$?
% \end{question}
% For $\{X_3 = 1\}$ to happen, we need to look at the following
% disjoint events:
% % \begin{IEEEeqnarra*}{rCl}
% % \bP(\{X_3 = 1, X_2 = 0, X_1 = 0\}) &=& P_{0,1} P_{0,0}^2,\\
% % \bP(\{X_3 = 1, X_2 = 0, X_1 = 1\}) &=& P_{0,1}^2 P_{1,0},\\
% % \bP(\{X_3 = 1, X_2 = 1, X_1 = 0\}) &=& P_{0,0} P_{0,1} P_{1,1},\\
% % \bP(\{X_3 = 1, X_2 = 1, X_1 = 1\}) &=& P_{0,1} P_{1,1}^2.
% % \end{IEEEeqnarr*}
%
% More generally, consider a Matrix $P \in (0,1)^{n \times n}$
% whose rows sum up to $1$.

\begin{example}[Markov chains with two states]
Suppose there are two states of a phone line,
$0$,``free'', or $1$, ``busy''.
We assume that the state only changes at discrete units of time
and model this as a sequence of random variables.
Assume
\begin{IEEEeqnarray*}{rCl}
\bP[X_{n+1} = 0 | X_n = 0] &=& p\\
\bP[X_{n+1} = 0 | X_n = 1] &=& (1-p)\\
\bP[X_{n+1} = 1 | X_n = 0] &=& q\\
\bP[X_{n+1} = 1 | X_n = 1] &=& (1-q)
\end{IEEEeqnarray*}
for some $p,q \in (0,1)$.
We can write this as a matrix
\begin{IEEEeqnarray*}{rCl}
P &=& \begin{pmatrix}
p & (1-p) \\
q & (1-q)
\end{pmatrix}
\end{IEEEeqnarray*}
Note that the rows of this matrix sum up to $1$.
Additionally, we make the following assmption:
Given that at some time $n$, the phone is in state $i \in \{0,1\}$,
the behavior of the phone after time $n$ does not depend

\end{IEEEeqnarray*}
\begin{question}
Assume $X_0 = 0$. What is $\bP[X_3 = 1]$?
\end{question}
For $\{X_3 = 1\}$ to happen, we need to look at the following
disjoint events:

\bP(\{X_3 = 1, X_2 = 0, X_1 = 1\}) &=& P_{0,1}^2 P_{1,0},\\
\bP(\{X_3 = 1, X_2 = 1, X_1 = 0\}) &=& P_{0,0} P_{0,1} P_{1,1},\\
\bP(\{X_3 = 1, X_2 = 1, X_1 = 1\}) &=& P_{0,1} P_{1,1}^2.
\end{IEEEeqnarray*}
More generally, consider a Matrix $P \in (0,1)^{n \times n}$
whose rows sum up to $1$.
Then we get a Markov Chain with $n$ states
by defining $\bP[X_{n+1} = i | X_{n} = j] = P_{i,j}$.
