## TL;DR

This paper introduces two efficient algorithms for solving a specific type of linear system that arises in Markov chains.

## Contribution

The novelty lies in the development of two O(n log n) algorithms for lower Hessenberg quasi-Toeplitz systems.

## Key findings

- The algorithms leverage the structure of the matrix as a sum of a Toeplitz and a rank-one matrix.
- Numerical experiments show the algorithms outperform existing methods in terms of accuracy and speed.

## Abstract
