An algorithm for reducing the moment of inertia of a system interaction matrix
Abstract
An algorithm is presented which reduces the moment of inertia of a system interaction matrix by applying a sequence of permutation transformations. The algorithm is shown to have certain finite convergence properties. The application of the technique to several system matrices is discussed with a view to revealing some of the latent structure within the model. © 1976.
