Abstract

A criterion is given for positive recurrence of a multidimensional, aperiodic, irreducible Markov chain with a denumerable state space. This criterion extends to the multidimensional case Foster's one-dimensional criterion. The multidimensional criterion consists of several conditions, one for each coordinate of the process. The usefulness of this criterion is shown through a queueing network example.
