Abstract

As long as a square nonnegative matrix $A$ contains sufficient nonzero
elements, the Sinkhorn-Knopp algorithm can be used to balance the matrix,
that is, to find a diagonal scaling of $A$ that is doubly stochastic.

We relate balancing to problems in traffic flow and describe how balancing
algorithms can be used to give a two sided measure of nodes in a graph. We
show that with an appropriate modification, the Sinkhorn-Knopp algorithm is a
natural candidate for computing the measure on enormous data sets.
