Abstract
Abstract—We derive the moments of the guesswork, the number of attempts required to correctly guess the output of a random source, for a source determined by a Markov chain
via a large deviations type estimate. These moments are related to the Perron–Frobenius eigenvalue of the matrix formed by element-wise powers of the Markov chain’s transition matrix.
