| dc.description | We present two path decompositions of Markov chains (with general state space) by means of harmonic functions, which are dual to each other. They can be seen as a generalization of Williams' decomposition of a Brownian motion with drift. The results may be illustrated by a multitude of examples, but we confine ourselves to different types of random walks and the Polya urn. | |
