PageRank (PR) is a fundamental tool for assessing the relative importance of the nodes in a network. In this paper, we propose a measure, weighted PageRank (WPR), extended from the classical PR for weighted, directed networks with possible…
The purpose of the research is to find a centrality measure that can be used in place of PageRank and to find out the conditions where we can use it in place of PageRank. After analysis and comparison of graphs with a large number of nodes…
This paper shows that pairwise PageRank orders emerge from two-hop walks. The main tool used here refers to a specially designed sign-mirror function and a parameter curve, whose low-order derivative information implies pairwise PageRank…

Many complex systems exhibit a natural hierarchy in which elements can be ranked according to a notion of "influence". While the complete and accurate knowledge of the interactions between constituents is ordinarily required for the…
