报告摘要：In this talk, we present a systematic procedure for computing Laurent series expansions of the fundamental matrix and Kemeny's constant for singularly perturbed Markov chains. We establish lower bounds for Kemeny's constant under perturbation, and introduce a novel condition number formulation for sensitivity analysis. Our results extend existing perturbation frameworks and provide new tools for analyzing the Hamiltonian cycle problem. The results are demonstrated through a queueing example. This talk is based on joint research with Jiang Qingwei.
