Abstract
This contribution proposes a decompositional iterative method with low memory requirements for the steady-state analysis of Kronecker structured Markov chains. The Markovian system is formed by a composition of subsystems using the Kronecker sum operator for local transitions and the Kronecker product operator for synchronized transitions. Even though the interactions among subsystems, which are captured by synchronized transitions, need not be weak, numerical experiments indicate that the solver benefits considerably from weak interactions among subsystems, and is to be recommended specifically in this case.
期刊介绍:
Electronic Transactions on Numerical Analysis (ETNA) is an electronic journal for the publication of significant new developments in numerical analysis and scientific computing. Papers of the highest quality that deal with the analysis of algorithms for the solution of continuous models and numerical linear algebra are appropriate for ETNA, as are papers of similar quality that discuss implementation and performance of such algorithms. New algorithms for current or new computer architectures are appropriate provided that they are numerically sound. However, the focus of the publication should be on the algorithm rather than on the architecture. The journal is published by the Kent State University Library in conjunction with the Institute of Computational Mathematics at Kent State University, and in cooperation with the Johann Radon Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (RICAM).
