Abstract In this paper, a class of Shannon-McMillan theorems for the nonhomogeneous Markov chains field on a homogeneous tree are discussed by constructing a nonnegative martingale. As corollaries, some Shannon-Mcmillan theorems for the homogeneous Markov chains field on a homogeneous tree and the nonhomogeneous Markov chain are obtained. A result which has been obtained is extended.

Keywords Shannon-McMillan theorem, the homogeneous tree, Markov random field, relative entropy density..
