In this paper the authors derive the quasi-stationary distribution of absorbing Markov chains with more than one absorbing state and study the different types of quasi-stationary distributions conditional on an eventual absorption into a specified state, using the method of limiting conditional probabilities. The problem of quasi-stationarity has been motivated by some biological research.
