Exponential chains and generalized inverses: New approaches to the approximate and exact solution of Markov chain problems

Markov chains are considered with emphasis on the compution of exact and approximate stationary distributions and expected first passage times. First, generalized inverses are used to unify the computations involved with Markov chains. It is shown that any generalized inverse of the infinitesimal ge...
