In order to determine the stationary distribution for discrete time quasi-birth-death Markov chains, it is necessary to find the minimal nonnegative solution of a quadratic matrix equation. The Newton-Shamanskii method is applied to solve this equation, and the sequence of matrices produced is monotonically increasing and converges to its minimal nonnegative solution. Numerical results illustrate the effectiveness of this procedure.
