In the last years, several authors studied a class of continuous-time semi-Markov processes obtained by time-changing Markov processes by hitting times of independent subordinators. Such processes are governed by integro-differential convolution equations of generalized fractional type. The aim of this paper is to develop a discrete-time counterpart of such a theory and to show relationships and differences with respect to the continuous time case. We present a class of discrete-time semi-Markov chains which can be constructed as time-changed Markov chains and we obtain the related governing convolution type equations. Such processes converge weakly to those in continuous time under suitable scaling limits.

Keywords: Semi-Markov processes, discrete-time chains, discrete fractional operators, time change, fractional Bernoulli process, sibuya counting process.
