β¦ Synopsis
In this paper we consider a Markov chain deΓΏned on a locally compact separable metric space which satisΓΏes the Feller property. We introduce a new assumption which generalizes T-chain and irreducibility assumptions, well known in the literature of Markov chains. Under this new assumption, the Foster's criterion is shown to be equivalent to the existence of an invariant probability measure for Feller-Markov chains, which is also equivalent to the existence of a non-singular invariant probability measure.

We consider Markov kernels on a locally compact separable metric space that satisfy the (weak) Feller property. We provide a very simple necessary and sufficient condition for existence of an invariant probability measure. We also prove that every Feller Markov kernel on a compact Hausdorff (not nec
The authors continue to study a class of bulk queueing systems with a compound Poisson input modulated by a semi-Markov process, service control and a queue length dependent service delay discipline. A necessary and sufficient criterion of ergodicity of an embedded process is established and its sta
