We gave several e.xainples with different cases. We proved that given a sec[uence of Markov chains such that the limit of this sec|uence is an Ergodic Markov chain, then the limit of the combination of the elements of this sequence is again Ergodic (under some condition if the state space is infinite). We also proved that the limit of the combination of an arbitrary sequence of Markov chains on a finite state space is Weak Ergodic if it satisfies some condition. Under the same condition, the limit of the combination of a doubly stochastic sequence of Markov chains is Ergodic.Mallak, SaedM.S
