Let (X,d) be a metric space where all closed balls are compact, with a fixed σ-finite Borel measure μ. Assume further that X is endowed with a linear order ⪯. Given a Markov (regular) operator P: L¹(μ) → L¹(μ) we discuss the asymptotic behaviour of the iterates Pⁿ. The paper deals with operators P which are Feller and such that the μ-absolutely continuous parts of the transition probabilities ${P(x,·)}_{x∈X}$ are continuous with respect to x. Under some concentration assumptions on the asymptotic transition probabilities $P^{m}(y,·)$, which also satisfy inf(supp Pf₁) ⪯ inf(supp Pf₂) whenever inf(supp f₁) ⪯ inf(supp f₂), we prove that the iterates Pⁿ converge in the weak* operator topology.
