In this paper we study polynomial and geometric (exponential) ergodicity for M/G/1-type Markov chains and Markov processes. First, practical criteria for M/G/1-type Markov chains are obtained by analyzing the generating function of the first return probability to level 0. Then the corresponding criteria for M/G/1-type Markov processes are given, using their h-approximation chains. Our method yields the radius of convergence of the generating function of the first return probability, which is very important in obtaining explicit bounds on geometric (exponential) convergence rates. Our results are illustrated, in the final section, in some examples.

For regular Markov processes on a countable space, we provide criteria for the forms of ergodicity in the title in terms of the existence of solutions to inequalities involving the Q-matrix of the process. An application to birth-death processes is given.
