Solving quadratic matrix equations arising in random walks in the quarter plane
英文摘要:
Quadratic matrix equations of the kind $A_1X^2+A_0X+A_{-1}=X$ are encountered in the analysis of Quasi--Birth-Death stochastic processes where the solution of interest is the minimal nonnegative solution $G$. In many queueing models, described by random walks in the quarter plane, the coefficients $A_1,A_0,A_{-1}$ are infinite tridiagonal matrices with an almost Toeplitz structure. Here, we analyze some fixed point iterations, including Newton's iteration, for the computation of $G$ and introduce effective algorithms and acceleration strategies which fully exploit the Toeplitz structure of the matrix coefficients and of the current approximation. Moreover, we provide a structured perturbation analysis for the solution $G$. The results of some numerical experiments which demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach are reported.
