On the Regularity of Skip-Free Markov Chains
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 July 2009
Abstract
Necessary and sufficient conditions for the regularity and recurrence of right-skip-free Markov chains are established. These generalize classical results for the case of birth-and-death processes. Expressions for the general right eigenvectors of such chains are also given.
