Abstract

We consider an irreducible positive-recurrent discrete-time Markov process on the state space X = ℤ + M × J , where ℤ + is the set of non-negative integers and J = { 1 , 2 , … , n } . The number of states in J may be either finite or infinite. We assume that the process is a homogeneous quasi-birth-and-death process (QBD). It means that the one-step transition probability between non-boundary states ( k , i ) and ( n , j ) may depend on i , j , and n − k but not on the specific values of k and n . It is shown that the stationary probability vector of the process is expressed through square matrices of order n , which are the minimal non-negative solutions to nonlinear matrix equations.
