Abstract

The mathematics of Google: The PageRank algorithm. In this paper we present and analyze the PageRank algorithm, used by Google to rank its search results. We focus on the mathematical background of this algorithm, which involves nonnegative matrices, graphs and Markov chains. There are some other web ranking algorithms, based on the computation of eigenvectors, like the HITS algorithm, which we briefly explain at the end of the paper.
