Analysis of sensitivity of reciprocal matrices

摘要

We develop a method based on the Hadamard Product of matrices to analyze the sensitivity of reciprocal matrices. We show that this type of matrices can be decomposed into the Hadamard Product of a consistent matrix and an inconsistent matrix. The consistent matrix has the same principal eigenvector as the original matrix, and the inconsistent matrix has the same principal eigenvalue as the original one. We use this decomposition in the analysis of sensitivity to compute the principle eigenvector of a perturbed reciprocal matrix.
