What is Google matrix?

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.

The Google matrix is most commonly used in the field of web search and information retrieval to model the structure of the World Wide Web. The matrix is used to analyze the importance of individual pages in a web graph, based on the number of links to and from each page. The eigenvectors of the Google matrix are used to rank the importance of the pages in the network, with the most important pages receiving the highest scores.

In addition to its use in web search, the Google matrix has been applied in other fields, including complex networks, graph theory, and physics. The concept of the Google matrix has been used to study the dynamics of a variety of complex systems, including networks of neurons in the brain, citation networks, and social networks.
