This repository contains the code of my attempt to replicate the results obtained in `[1]`. The scripts are all written in python and are heavily build around the libraries SciPy and NumPy. To install all the required packages with `pip` run the following command in terminal
At the moment, the standard and shifted power method to compute the PageRank with multiple damping factors are fully implemented (as described in `[1]`). To run the program we need to execute the `main.py` file. It takes as input two arguments:
-`--dataset`: the options are `BerkStan` and `Stanford`. This commands selects the web-graph to run the algorithms on.
-`--algo`: the options are `power`, `shifted`, `both`. If you choose the last option, it will first run the standard power method and then the shifted one.
Here an example of what's described above.
```bash
sudo chmod +x main.py
```
Now we can run the program
```bash
./main.py --dataset Stanford --algo both
```
## Under development
In the `testing/` folder there are two python notebook that contains the attempt on replicating the results obtained in `[1]` for the shifted GMRES method. The implementation of the Arnoldi process is fully working. On the other hand, there are several problems on the shifted GMRES algorithm that I can't figure out.
