Pagerank-

÷web as a Graph with orientation : the arrows
are links :
Page I links Page 2 and Page 3
Page 2 links Page 1
Page 3 links Page 2
the graph can be encoded in an adjacencymatrix :

Let wi be the"
importance"
of The pagei
Pagerank adopts the following condition :
' the importance of a page is distributed
(uniformly ) toThe linked pages .
In our example :
-2 3
IN a =W

Wi t wzV /
W 2 = 12
W 3 =WI

In general , givenH = [ his ] ; ,

this initial version has some issues,
we need to modify it.
The first issue is : what happens ifFi : di = o ?
Dealing with dangling nodes ( di = o )this is the case of a page i that has no
outgoing links,
and it is called a dangling node
In case of dangling nodes,
that correspond to
rows of H that have only Zero entries,
The Pagerank idea is to replace such rows
with rows full of ones i

where a has ones in the position of danglingnodes ( in our case : u

We can then rewrite the problem, as pollens :

weto and wT

is equivalent to
Fw c- IRN : Wto and WIM- Id ) = O
is equivalent to
t w E RN: W ± o and ( Mt - Id ) w = O
is then equivalent to det ( MT - Id ) = O
Since the determinant of a matrix is equal to
the determinant of its transpose ,
the problem is
equivalent to
det ( M - id ) = o
this is finally equivalent to the existence of
a vector veto such that ( M - Id ) y = O.
This happens for I = I =L !) .Indeed
,
recalling that M=
I - ' te,
we have
I - ' te I
=I- ' I
= I ,then
( I - in - Id ) I =

Exercise : reasoning as in the previous proof ,
prove that the"
left eigenvalues"
are
the Sanne as the "
right eigenvalues"
.
The left eigenvalues of a matrix AEIRN"
are
the d EIR such that FWERN,
WTA = xwt
The rigth eigenvalues of a matrix AE IRN " Nare
the X EIR such that FVEIRN,
Aw = Xw
NOTE The Pagerank problem is equivalent to-
finding a left eigenvector of MID -' te
Uniqueness of the Solution .
The solution w is not unique i any scalar
multiple of w is solution if w is a solution.
The question is then ; is the Solution
unique upto scalar multiplication ? That is
:I f w is a solution an Wii 's a solution,
can
We say that there is a LER such that
w=
air ?
The answer to the previous question can be
found in the Perron- Frobenius theorem
.
Roughly speaking ,Sufficient conditions for a
uniqueSolution ( upto scalar multiples) w to
of WT= WTA are i
- A is irreducible
- A has strictly positive elements
But,
our matrix M does not fulfill suck
conditions.
Then,
We further modify the
problem .
If M =D - I te is The matrix of the original
Pagerank problem ,now we introduce the
modified matrix A such that

Answer : the importance of thepages
is givenin part from the previous idea ( wtf M )and in part it is given according to rt
( this is the poet G - r ) ( XIE ) yT )-
A common choice is I= NIIt
Computation of the solution.
Under the assumption of the P.
F. theorem
,
it is shown that I is the eigenvalue of
A with maximum absolute value.
The matrix A is mousy mimetic but the eigenvector can be
efficiently computed by a"
power method "
the following algorithm gets H, I
, y ,max it
and returnsI ,
are approximation of we ,
after maxi 't power iterations.
function y = pagerank ( H, I
, 8 ,max it )
N = size ( H,
i) ;
look for the dangling nodes and construct A

end
there are some detailsthat make the codemore efficient ( in MATLAB but not only )

may be expensive to Construct
but this is not needed.
We only need to compute ( for xT=ytD - ')It= EHt ( x dangling)* ones ( i. N )
