Abstract

We present computationally efficient criteria that can guarantee correct ordinal ranking of Google's PageRank scores when they are computed with the power method (ordinal ranking of a list consists of assigning an ordinal number to each item in the list). We discuss the tightness of the ranking criteria, and illustrate their effectiveness for top k and bucket ranking. We present a careful implementation of the power method, combined with a roundoff error analysis that is valid for matrix dimensions $n
