What is Google matrix?

[taxiongo]

A Google matrix is a particular stochastic matrix that is used by Google's PageRank algorithm. The matrix represents a graph with edges representing links between pages. The rank of each page can be generated iteratively from the Google matrix using the power method. However, in order for the power method to converge, the matrix must be stochastic, irreducible and aperiodic.

A Google matrix is a mathematical concept that models the structure of a directed graph, or a network of nodes and edges. It is a matrix representation of a graph that describes the transition probabilities between nodes in a network, where the columns of the matrix represent the nodes and the rows represent the transition probabilities from one node to another.
