PageRank (cont)

V = # pages in Web,   E = # hyperlinks in Web

Costs for computing PageRank for each representation:

Representation  linkExists(v,w)  Cost
Adjacency matrix  edge[v][w]  1
Adjacency lists  inLL(list[v],w)  ≅ E/V

Not feasible …

  • adjacency matrix … V1014 ⇒ matrix has 1028 cells
  • adjacency list … V lists, each with ≅10 hyperlinks ⇒ 1015 list nodes
So how to really do it?
