Can RowReduce work in this matrix?

The matrix $Q$ with dimensions $n\times2*n*m$ is structured by $$Q=[B|AB|\cdots|A^{2*n-1}B]$$ where $Q$ is an augmented matrix built from a $3\times3$ matrix, $A$, and a $3\times2$ matrix, $B$. I ...

Fast calculation of commute distances on large graphs (i.e. fast computation of the pseudo-inverse of a large Laplacian / Kirchhoff matrix)

I have a large, locally connected and undirected graph $G$ with $\approx 10^4$ vertices and $\approx 10^5$ to $\approx 10^6$ edges. Moreover I can bound the maximum vertex degree as $Q_{max}$. I ...
