Provide an appropriate response.Explain how a Markov chain can be absorbing, even though one non-absorbing state has no entries into a particular absorbing state.
What will be an ideal response?
There must be at least one other absorbing state. As long as the non-absorbing state in question has an entry into SOME absorbing state, the second criterion for an absorbing Markov chain is met. Incidentally, the entry from a non-absorbing to an absorbing state can take more than one step.
