PageRank: An Improvement<br />

• Let P be the Markov matrix of the web graph W<br />

• What is the sum of entries <strong>in</strong> the i-th row of P T <br />

• The sum of weights of l<strong>in</strong>ks po<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g to node i<br />

• This is precisely the importance of node (web page) i<br />

• Comput<strong>in</strong>g the importance of every node is just comput<strong>in</strong>g<br />

x = P T J<br />

where J is the vector of all 1’s
