For a nonnegative irreducible matrix A with spectral radius ϱ, this paper is concerned with the determination of the unique normalized Perron vector π which satisfies A π= ϱπ, π# &62; 0, Σ j π j= 1. It is explained how to uncouple a large matrix A into two or more smaller matrices—say P 11, P 22,…, P kk—such that this sequence of smaller matrices has the following properties:(1) Each P ii is also nonnegative and irreducible, so that each P ii has a unique Perron vector π (i).(2) Each P ii has the same spectral radius ϱ as A.(3) It is possible to determine the π (i)'s completely independently of each other, so that one can execute the computation of the π (i)'s parallel.(4) It is easy to couple the smaller Perron vectors π (i) back together in order to produce the Perron vector π for the original matrix A.
