On the determinant and its derivatives of the rank-one corrected generator of a Markov chain on a graph
Filar, J.; Haythorpe, M.; Murray, W. - In: Journal of Global Optimization 56 (2013) 4, pp. 1425-1440
We present an algorithm to find the determinant and its first and second derivatives of a rank-one corrected generator matrix of a doubly stochastic Markov chain. The motivation arises from the fact that the global minimiser of this determinant solves the Hamiltonian cycle problem. It is...
