摘要
Suppose that T is a stochastic matrix. We propose an algo-rithm for identifying clusters in the Markov chain associated with T. The algorithm is recursive in nature, and in order to identify clusters, it uses the sign pattern of a left singular vec-tor associated with the second smallest singular value of the Laplacian matrix I-T. We prove a number of results that jus-tify the algorithm's approach, and illustrate the algorithm's performance with several numerical examples.(c) 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
