In this paper,we study the quasi-stationarity and quasi-ergodicity of general Markov processes.We show,among other things,that if X is a standard Markov process admitting a dual with respect to a finite measure m and if X admits a strictly positive continuous transition density p(t,x,y)(with respect to m)which is bounded in(x,y)for every t>0,then X has a unique quasi-stationary distribution and a unique quasi-ergodic distribution.We also present several classes of Markov processes satisfying the above conditions.
