Abstract

PageRank is an important ranking algorithm in the web information retrieval and search engines.This paper presents two modified methods for speeding up the computation of PageRank, which is a hyperlinkbased estimate of the webpage importance. The improved algorithm is described in detail and implemented. Numerical tests show effectiveness of the modified algorithms.
