  • We study an MA(1)-process with uniform innovations conditioned to stay positive. Representing the model as a Markov chain, we prove the existence of the limiting finite-dimensional distributions under this conditioning and identify the limiting process explicitly as a Doob $h$-transform. In the non-expanding case, i.e. when the coupling parameter $θ$ satisfies $θ\in[-1,1)$, we compute the relevant generating functions, extract sharp persistence asymptotics, and give explicit formulas for the eigenfunction $h$ and the persistence exponent. The resulting transition kernel of the limiting process is therefore fully explicit and displays a phase-dependent structure in the parameters. This provides a rare solvable example of a Markov chain on a continuous state space conditioned on persistence.
