contents Potential theory has important applications in various fields such as physics, finance, and biology. In this paper, we investigate the potentials of two classic types of discrete-time skip-free Markov chains: upward skip-free and downward skip-free Markov chains. The key to deriving these potentials lies in the use of truncation approximation techniques. The results are then applied to GI/M/1 queues and M/G/1 queues, and further extended to continuous-time skip-free Markov chains.
