Abstract

An O(n2) algorithm is described for computing the maximum cycle mean (eigenvalue) for n × n matrices, A = (aij) fulfilling Monge property, aij + akl ≤ ail + akj for any i . The algorithm computes the value λ(A) = max(ai1i2) + +ai2j3 + ... + aikj1/k over all cyclic permutations (i1, i2,..., ik) of subsets of the set {1,2,...,n). A similar result is presented for matrices with inverse Monge property. The standard algorithm for the general case works in O(n3) time.
