The PageRank is a widely used scoring function of networks in general and of the World Wide Web graph in particular. The PageRank is defined for directed graphs, but in some special cases applications for undirected graphs occur. In the literature it is widely - but not exclusively - noted that the PageRank for undirected graphs is proportional to the degrees of the vertices of the graph. We prove that statement for a particular personalization vector in the definition of the PageRank, and we… Expand

This paper presents fast random walk-based distributed algorithms for computing PageRanks in general graphs and proves strong bounds on the round complexity, believed to be the first fully distributed algorithms to be designed with provably efficient running time. Expand
A Study of PageRank in Undirected Graphs
The PageRank (PR) algorithm is the base of Google search engine. In this paper, we study the PageRank sequence for undirected graphs of order six by PR vector. Then, we provide an ordering for graphs… Expand
Graph Similarity Using PageRank and Persistent Homology
TLDR
This work utilizes the PageRank function on the lower-star filtration of the graph as input to persistent homology to study the problem of graph similarity by representing each graph as a persistence diagram and comparing outputs using the bottleneck distance. Expand
Bidirectional PageRank Estimation: From Average-Case to Worst-Case
TLDR
This work shows how the reversibility of random walks on undirected networks can be exploited to convert average-case to worst-case guarantees, and discusses how to modify the methods to estimate random-walk probabilities for any length distribution, thereby obtaining fast algorithms for estimating general graph diffusions.

Equal Opportunity for Low-Degree Network Nodes: A PageRank-Based Method for Protein Target Identification in Metabolic Graphs
TLDR
A novel method applicable in networks with directed edges (such as metabolic networks) that compensates for the low degree (non-hub) vertices in the network, and identifies important nodes, regardless of their hub properties is shown. Expand
The Multiple Instances of Node Centrality and their Implications on the Vulnerability of ISP Networks
TLDR
This paper carries out a correlation study to assess the consistency of the node rankings those indices generate over ISP router-level topologies and results confirm that the top- k overlap predicts the comparative impact of indices on the network vulnerability better than the full-ranking correlation.

Fast Distributed PageRank Computation
TLDR
This work designs provably efficient fully-distributed algorithms for computing PageRank using traditional matrix-vector multiplication style iterative methods, which may not always adapt well to the distributed setting owing to communication bandwidth restrictions and convergence rates. Expand

This survey discusses the extension of centrality measures to different types of networks, methods to update centrality values in dynamic networks, method to identify top-k nodes, approximation algorithms, open research problems related to the domain, and so on. Expand
The Frequent Network Neighborhood Mapping of the human hippocampus shows much more frequent neighbor sets in males than in females
TLDR
The new method of the Frequent Network Neighborhood Mapping for the connectome, which serves as a robust identification of the neighborhoods of given vertices of special interest in the graph, is introduced and strong statistical asymmetries between the connectomes of the sexes are discovered.
