Many physical systems are described by a stochastic differential equation involving coefficient dependent on the state on the one hand, and periodic with respect to time on the other hand. The paper deals with the discrete version of this equation, which describes a discrete-time Markov chain with time-periodic transition matrices, referred to as a periodically inhomogeneous Markov chain. One analyzes successively periodic reversibility, detailed balance, entropy production rate, circulation distribution and the mutual relations which might exist between them. The relationship between Brownian motors and time-periodic Markov chains is investigated.
