A Markov chain whose transition probabilities 
have the following property: There are states 
such that 
for all 
. Decomposability of a Markov chain is equivalent to decomposability of its matrix of transition probabilities 
for discrete-time Markov chains, and of its matrix of transition probability densities 
, 
, for continuous-time Markov chains. The state space of a decomposable Markov chain consists either of inessential states or of more than one class of communicating states (cf. Markov chain).
