Abstract
In this paper we establish an upper bound for absolute value of the determinant of rate matrix R used in matrix-geometric solution for steady-state probabilities of a structured G/M/1-type Markov process. This result, although being mostly theoretical, may be useful to establish bounds for the geometrical decay of steady-state probabilities useful in many practical problems
