The Second Eigenvalue of the Google Matrix

چکیده
We determine analytically the modulus of the second eigenvalue for the web hyperlink matrix used by Google for computing PageRank. Specifically, we prove the following statement: “For any matrix , where is an row-stochastic matrix, is a nonnegative rank-one row-stochastic matrix, and ! " , the second eigenvalue of has modulus # $&%'#( ) . Furthermore, if has at least two irreducible closed subsets, the second eigenvalue $ % * .” This statement has implications for the convergence rate of the standard PageRank algorithm as the web scales, for the stability of PageRank to perturbations to the link structure of the web, for the detection of Google spammers, and for the design of algorithms to speed up PageRank.

Given four complex matrices $A$, $B$, $C$ and $D$ where $Ainmathbb{C}^{ntimes n}$ and $Dinmathbb{C}^{mtimes m}$ and let the matrix $left(begin{array}{cc} A & B C & D end{array} right)$ be a normal matrix and assume that $lambda$ is a given complex number that is not eigenvalue of matrix $A$. We present a method to calculate the distance norm (with respect to 2-norm) from $D$ to ...

In this paper, at first for a given set of real or complex numbers $sigma$ with nonnegative summation, we introduce some special conditions that with them there is no nonnegative tridiagonal matrix in which $sigma$ is its spectrum. In continue we present some conditions for existence such nonnegative tridiagonal matrices.
متن کاملThe eigenvectors corresponding to the second eigenvalue of the Google matrix and their relation to link spamming
Google uses the PageRank algorithm to determine the relative importance of a website. Link spamming is the name for putting links between websites with no other purpose than to increase the PageRank value of a website. To give a fair result to a search query it is important to detect whether a website is link spammed so that it can be filtered out of the search result. While the dominant eigenv...

Time-delays are important components of many dynamical systems that describe coupling or interconnection between dynamics, propagation or transport phenomena, and heredity and competition in population dynamics. The stabilization with time delay in observation or control represents difficult mathematical challenges in the control of distributed parameter systems. It is well-known that the stabi...

The symmetric doubly stochastic inverse eigenvalue problem (hereafter SDIEP) is to determine the necessary and sufficient conditions for an $n$-tuple $sigma=(1,lambda_{2},lambda_{3},ldots,lambda_{n})in mathbb{R}^{n}$ with $|lambda_{i}|leq 1,~i=1,2,ldots,n$, to be the spectrum of an $ntimes n$ symmetric doubly stochastic matrix $A$. If there exists an $ntimes n$ symmetric doubly stochastic ...
