| Abstract: | We prove the conjecture formulated in the paper by N. Litvak and V. Ejov ("Markov Chains and Optimality of The Hamiltonian Cycle", to appear in Math. Oper. Res., 2008), namely, that the trace of the fundamental matrix of a singularly perturbed Markov chain is minimized at policies corresponding to Hamiltonian cycles, over the set of all stochastic policies feasible for a given graph. |
