This paper introduces necessary and/or sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions (g,h) to the probabilistic multichain Poisson equation (a) g = Pg and (b) g+h-Ph = f, with a given charge f, where P is a Markov kernel (or transition probability function) on a general measurable space. The existence conditions are derived via three different approaches, using (1) canonical pairs, (2) Cesàro averages, and (3) resolvents.
