Abstract

In this paper, we present a direct method for solving linear systems of a block-Toeplitz matrix with each block being a near-circulant matrix. The direct method is based on the fast Fourier transform (FFT) and the Sherman-Morrison- Woodbury formula. We give a cost analysis for the proposed method. The method is then applied to solve the steady-state probability distribution of a hybrid manufacturing system which consists of a manufacturing process and a re-manufacturing process.
