PageRank Algorithm December 9‚ 2012 Abstract This paper dicsusses the PageRank algorithm. We carefully go through each step of the algorithm and explain each procedure. We also explain the mathematical setup of the algorithm‚ including all computations that are used in the PageRank algorithm. Some of the topics that we touch on include the following‚ but not limited to‚ are: linear algebra‚ node analysis‚ matrix theory‚ and numerical methods. But primarily this paper concerns itself with

One of the biggest and most important differences between the BlackBerry Torch and the iPhone 4 is the operating system these phones use. iOS4 has received great reviews‚ even though it has recently had security issues. The Torch uses the brand new BlackBerry 6 operating system‚ which launched with the announcement of the Torch. BlackBerry 6 maintains all of the messaging and productivity features beloved by BlackBerry users‚ but it also adds in significant social networking and media features

account for the purported unambiguity of the Sanskrit language. A Computational Algorithm based on Empirical Analysis‚ that Composes Sanskrit Poetry Rama N.‚ Meenakshi Lakshmanan (Submitted on 7 Mar 2010) Poetry-writing in Sanskrit is riddled with problems for even those who know the language well. This is so because the rules that govern Sanskrit prosody are numerous and stringent. We propose a computational algorithm that converts prose given as E-text into poetry in accordance with the metrical

Prim’s algorithm Prim’s algorithm is an algorithm used to find out the minimum spanning tree. The cost or value of all the paths should be positive. For a given source vertex‚ this algorithm calculates the minimum distance that should be taken to all the nodes from the source vertex. Algorithm of Prim’s algorithm: 1. Initialize two sets S and V-S‚ where the set S will have the start vertex and V-S will have all the remaining vertexes. 2. Starting from the source vertex‚ traverse the adjacent

ANACOR The ANACOR algorithm consists of three major parts: 1. 2. 3. A singular value decomposition (SVD) Centering and rescaling of the data and various rescalings of the results Variance estimation by the delta method. Other names for SVD are “Eckart-Young decomposition” after Eckart and Young (1936)‚ who introduced the technique in psychometrics‚ and “basic structure” (Horst‚ 1963). The rescalings and centering‚ including their rationale‚ are well explained in Benzécri (1969)‚ Nishisato (1980)
