[Math] Process with Markov property but not strong Markov property

stochastic-processes

I'm trying to find a simple example of a stochastic process with the Markov property, but not the strong Markov property, to give me an intuitive understanding of the distinction between them.

All the processes I can think of off the top of my head seem to have either both or neither of these properties.

Thanks.

An example is $X_t=\max\{t-T,0\}$, where $T$ is exponentially distributed.

For every fixed nonnegative $t$, conditionally on $\mathscr F_t^X$, $(X_{t+s})_{s\ge0}$ is distributed like $(X_s)_{s\ge0}$ on $[X_t=0]$ and like $(X_t+s)_{s\ge0}$ on $[X_t>0]$. But $(X_{T+s})_{s\ge0}$ is not distributed like $(X_s)_{s\ge0}$ on $\Omega=[X_T=0]$.
