Daniel Kressner et al., « Multigrid methods combined with low-rank approximation for tensor-structured Markov chains. ETNA - Electronic Transactions on Numerical Analysis », Elektronisches Publikationsportal der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschafte, ID : 10.1553/etna_vol48s348
Markov chains that describe interacting subsystems suffer from state space explosion but lead to highly structured matrices. In this work, we propose a novel tensor-based algorithm to address such tensor-structured Markov chains. Our algorithm combines a tensorized multigrid method with AMEn, an optimization-based low-rank tensor solver, for addressing coarse grid problems. Numerical experiments demonstrate that this combination overcomes the limitations incurred when using each of the two methods individually. As a consequence, Markov chain models of unprecedented size from a variety of applications can be addressed.
