As long as a square nonnegative matrix A contains sufficient nonzero elements, then the Sinkhorn-Knopp algorithm can be used to balance the matrix, that is, to find a diagonal sc...
We outline an approach for re-interpreting methods for ranking web pages based on interesting recent work on matrix power series representations for PageRank and its variants, such...
A key focus of contemporary agent-oriented research and engineering is on open multiagent systems composed of truly autonomous, interacting agents. This poses new challenges, as en...
