Abstract
The numerical analysis of various modeling formalisms profits from a structured representation for the generator matrix Q of the underlying continuous-time Markov chain, where Q is described by a sum of tensor (Kronecker) products of much smaller matrices. In this paper, we describe such a representation for the class of superposed generalized stochastic Petri nets (GSPNs), which is less restrictive than in previous work. Furthermore a new iterative analysis algorithm is proposed. It pays special attention to a memory-efficient representation of iteration vectors as well as to a memory-efficient structured representation of Q in consequence the new algorithm is able to solve models which have state spaces with several million states, where other exact numerical methods become impracticable on a common workstation.
