Abstract

Strong mixing is a condition which is often assumed to prove limit theorems for strictly stationary processes. Leadbetter's condition D(un) is used to prove limit theorems for maxima of stationary processes.

A sufficient condition for strong mixing to hold is given for the case where the process satisfies a pth-order Markov property. This condition can be easy to check for when p is small. This point is illustrated by two examples of first-order autoregressive processes.

The condition D(un) is shown to hold for any stationary Markov process.
