Abstract: We investigate some asymptotic properties of general Markov processes conditioned not to be absorbed by the moving boundaries. We first give general criteria involving an exponential convergence towards the Q-process, that is the law of the considered Markov process conditioned never to reach the moving boundaries. This exponential convergence allows us to state the existence and uniqueness of the quasi-ergodic distribution considering either boundaries moving periodically or stabilizing boundaries. We also state the existence and uniqueness of a quasi-limiting distribution when absorbing boundaries stabilize. We finally deal with some examples such as diffusions which are coming down from infinity.
