Abstract
Quasibirth and death processes with block tridiagonal matrices find many applications in various areas Neuts gave the necessary and sufficient conditions for the ordinary ergodicity and found an expression of the stationary distribution for a class of quasibirth and death processes In this paper we obtain the explicit necessary and sufficient conditions for lergodicity and geometric ergodicity for the class of quasibirth and death processes and prove that they are not strongly ergodic
