      The analysis of continuous time Markov chains with huge state spaces requires considerable numerical effort. The author develops an algorithm for the evaluation of the stationary probabilities vector applicable to a quite general class of models. Hierarchically structured chains can be described by a generator matrix with a compact tensor representation. The algorithm combines SOR iterations exploiting the tensor structure with adaptive aggregation/disaggregation steps. Several examples are given to compare the performance of different variants of the algorithm.
