Abstract
In this paper we describe iterative methods for finding the null vectors of large sparse unsymmetric singular matrices which arise while modeling queuing networks. We find that these matrices often have some useful algebraic structure, and that classical methods often applied to solving nonsingular problems arising in the study of differential equations can be used for these types of problems.
