Abstract

In this short paper we show how the convergence of the iterative aggregation-disaggregation methods for computing the Perron eigenvector of a large sparse irreducible stochastic matrix can be improved by an appropriate ordering of the data and by the choice of a basic iteration matrix. Some theoretical estimates are introduced and a fast algorithm is proposed for obtaining the desired ordering. Numerical examples are presented.
