This work concerns a discrete-time Markov chain with time-invariant transition mechanism and denumerable state space, which is endowed with a nonnegative cost function with finite support. The performance of the chain is measured by the (long-run) risk-sensitive average cost and, assuming that the state space is communicating, the existence of a solution to the risk-sensitive Poisson equation is established, a result that holds even for transient chains. Also, a sufficient criterion ensuring that the functional part of a solution is uniquely determined up to an additive constant is provided, and an example is given to show that the uniqueness result may fail when that criterion is not satisfied.
