Emory University Product Preconditioning for Markov Chain Problems

We consider preconditioned Krylov subspace methods for computing the stationary probability distribution vector of irreducible Markov chains. We propose preconditioners constructed as the product of two fairly simple preconditioners. Theoretical properties of the proposed product preconditioners are briefly discussed. We use graph partitioning tools to partition the coefficient matrix in order ...
