An edge centrality measure based on the Kemeny constant
D. Altafini, D. A. Bini, V. Cutini +2
A new measure of the centrality of an edge in an undirected graph is introduced. It is based on the variation of the Kemeny constant of the graph after removing the…
Palindromic linearization and numerical solution of nonsymmetric algebraic T-Riccati equations
Peter Benner, Bruno Iannazzo, Beatrice Meini +1
We identify a relationship between the solutions of a nonsymmetric algebraic T-Riccati equation (T-NARE) and the deflating subspaces of a palindromic matrix pencil, obtained by arr…
Numerical solution of a matrix integral equation arising in Markov Modulated Lévy processes
Dario A. Bini, Guy Latouche, Beatrice Meini
Markov-modulated Lévy processes lead to matrix integral equations of the kind where , , are given matrix coefficients, while …
A family of fast fixed point iterations for M/G/1-type Markov chains
Dario Andrea Bini, Guy Latouche, Beatrice Meini
We consider the problem of computing the minimal nonnegative solution of the nonlinear matrix equation where , for , are nonnega…
Traffic lights, clumping and QBDs
Steven Finch, Guy Latouche, Guy Louchard +1
In discrete time, -blocks of red lights are separated by -blocks of green lights. Cars arrive at random. \ We seek the distribution of maximum line length of idle cars,…
A computational framework for two-dimensional random walks with restarts
Dario A. Bini, Stefano Massei, Beatrice Meini +1
The treatment of two-dimensional random walks in the quarter plane leads to Markov processes which involve semi-infinite matrices having Toeplitz or block Toeplitz structure plus a…
